Overall I would recommend this space for a Barcelona trip, as one of the more reasonably priced places (in this now outrageously priced city for accommodation).
Some great things:
- It's clean! (The cleaner really does work for their money)
- Its a good size (much bigger living space than the pictures make out)
- The shower is very powerful, hot (and clean, did I mention)
- Good restaurants, bakeries, bars literally on the corner and seconds from the metro.
Other things to note:
- The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, but there's no tea, coffee, sugar, salt etc etc
- (I know this isn't something the landlord can help with but they didn't communicate it either) that when we visited in early October there were road/pipeworks going on over a whole lot of Eixample which meant being woken up by pneumatic drills at 0730 and continuing all morning. Obviously, works will be complete at some point, but who knows when.
- Some fittings are getting a little dated (MDF door frame swelling by the pooling water at the bathroom door from the shower is a bit overlooked.)
You get let in by one of the landlord's friends where they take some details and your tourist tax (don't forget this isn't included in the price.)
A decent base for exploring the city.
