We have had a lovely time in Barcelona. Eucari was a really great host, she was so cute and friendly and tried to help us exploring the city. Her English is not that good, but we managed to figure out what she was trying to say all the time.
The location of the appartment is really nice for a citytrip. A lot of highlights are in walking distance and also public transport is nearby to get you everywhere you wanna go.
Unfortunately we have some negative things about the appartment itself:
- the host and her friends are smoking inside the kitchen, which we did not like. Also, the kitchen has got a really gross smell.
- the bedroom does not have an airco so it was really hot sleeping there.
- the bathroom is ok, but small. When you turn around in the shower, you are always hitting the button thay regulates that strength and the temperature of the shower. The advertisement on the airbnb website says you have 1.5 bathroom, which is not the case.
- apparently she rents another room in the same house, a thing we did not know about when going to this appartment. Halfway our vacation she texted us with the question if we could pick up our shampoo and towels etc because of the other guests that were renting the other room. We had to share the bathroom with them, which is something we could not make up from the advertisement. So 1.5 bathroom for yourself really is not the case, actually you have to share the small bathroom with other guests.
- all rooms cannot be locked, both the bedrooms and the bathroom. We were okay with that, but when we found out about the other guests we had to share the bathroom with, we didn't feel comfortable about this. Also the bedrooms cannot be locked, which we find is really weird since the other guests can theoretically just walk in and steal stuff when you are not at the appartment. When we asked Eucari about it, she told is that having locks for rooms is very uncommon in Spain. Nevertheless, Eucari's room is the only room that has a lock on it so we thought the whole lock-story was really weird when more guests are staying at the same appartment.
So in conclusion, we really liked Eucari and the location of the appartment. The appartment has got everything you need for a citytrip, but we have some negative experiences about it.
