Overall, we had a positive experience during this stay. I would rate it a 3.5/5.
Pros
- Great location
- Moderate views of La Sagrada Familia
- New appliances
- Parking lot close by
- Great towels
- Super comfy bed
- Very quick response times from staff
Cons
- 3 separate check-in locations were super frustrating. The address linked on Airbnb was not accurate, so once we arrived we were confused. Turned out the check-in office was one street down. We had to figure this out ourselves, which was frustrating. Once we got to the office, we were then told our room was actually down the street. Although only a 5 minute walk, it was frustrating to have three different addresses to deal with in order to check in.
- Apartment smelled faintly of cigarette smoke and heavily of vape smoke. This was super gross, we had to leave all the windows open for 6 hours and when we came back, it still smelled foul.
- We felt we paid 2x what this apartment was worth. We did book only two days before our stay, so that is probably why it was expensive. But for the price we paid we would have expected a more seamless and clean stay.

Overall, we had a positive experience. But we probably wouldn't stay here again due to the cigarette/vape smells in the room and the frustrating check-in experience. Nevertheless, we were barely in the room, only to sleep. So, it was a good base to come back to considering the location.
