Disappointed -
Our group of 6 left a 5 star rental in Madrid and were excited to come to Barcelona. Upon arrival, our host was waiting for us and quite pleasant. The location was excellent and the host's food recommendations were good but that's where the compliments stop. The host gave us a tour and made us nervous when he mentioned that the electric could overload and showed us where the breakers were. He then explained how the water heater overheated at times as well. Not a good start. Over the next few days we found many issues within the house that made the stay not what we anticipated when we booked:
-dishwasher missing the on switch and it would stay on at all times, bottom rack was broken
-refrigerator was missing parts
-kitchen counter top cracked
-bathrooms looked like someone had done a DIY project with caulk everywhere
-not clean. Wife walked with bare feet and had black on feet after a short period of time
-bathroom tile had some mold on them that we wiped down on the first day
-knobs missing on some built in cabinets
-water pressure in one shower was barely above a trickle
-no paper products except toilet paper which he bought on the day we arrived
-pots were old and grungy looking so we didn't cook at all on the trip
-1 garbage bag on arrival for the whole apartment. guess that wasn't included in the price
I feel bad because I rarely write bad reviews but so many things were in disrepair, I felt obligated to warn future travelers. I wouldn't give this place more than 2-3 stars and will not rent again if we ever go back to Barcelona.
