Experience From Family of Five:
The check in process is contactless and easy. You enter a code to get into the lobby, enter a reservation number, scan your adult passports, pay the tourist tax with a credit card and get issued room keys. They can’t make this any easier.
The apartments are owned/managed by a large company and you get issued one of them at random. We stayed in apartment 3 which had windows opening onto the side street off La Rambla, just a couple buildings down from one of Gaudi’s buildings. The apartment is very well situated, close to the metro, which we used to get to the airport.
We used both bedrooms and the pull out couch which was also quite comfortable. The apartment beds were better quality than we had at a 4 star hotel the prior week. We appreciated the two full bathrooms. Note, each unit has a separate hot water holding tank and given the strong water pressure, you can’t do more than 2 or 3 “efficient” showers at a time. Plan accordingly.
We ate some meals in using the stove. Note, there is no oven but there is a microwave. We had bot a regular and “k” cup coffee maker. Refrigerator is a large “mini” fridge with a little freezer area built in. Kitchen had the essentials. Unit comes with a packet of dish soap, detergent for two laundry washes and one dishwasher pod.
Note, if you do laundry, there is a front load washing machine. You have to hang up clothes (no dryer, which seems to be the norm in Spain), so allow a full day or so for things to dry.
We had great communication with the management company staff. They were responsive to our questions and needs. We had a circuit breaker pop due to us charging a bunch of devices on the same line as the fridge and washer. They came right away to reset the breaker.
I would recommend the unit and would stay here again. Thanks for a pleasant stay.
