I don't like to write a negative reviews, but in case of this apartment I have no choice. We're family of 4 (parents and 2 kids), had a stay in Rosa's apartment in the beginning of the August.
Starting from the terrible check-in. We came to Barcelona after a long way from Gibraltar. I noticed Rosa before we started our way, that we're coming. She asked me to let her know when we have the last 30 minutes before arrival and I did so. When we arrived, Rosa didn't wait us, I tried for half an hour to reach her by airbnb messager and calling her directly, till she answered by whatsapp. She didn't show up personnaly, just tried to direct us by whatsapp messages where to arrive and where to park - it was really terrible experience, as we never were in Barcelona before, didn't know where it's allowed to park and where it's not, and worst thing if to find where the exact place is (what the correct road side and what building entrance to use). Moreover, Rosa didn't meet us by herself, but her parents. They were very warm, but they do not speak English, so it was difficult to communicate and understand all instructions and all related things we need to know for our stay.
Our further communication with Rosa was good, she answered on messages quickly enough, maximum in half an hour, helping us with issues.
Regarding apartment itself. It is very disappointing. The pictures do not really show as an apartment is, they make it to be looking new and attractive, but indeed, the building is old and apartment is much less attractive (actually not attractive at all) with a real eyes. The apartment is on second floor (actually 3rd, as the building has 0 floor) No any elevator, steps are steep and ceiling is very low on a 0 floor, so it's a bit issue to lift all bags by yourself. Fridge, kettle, oven were very dirty. My wife cleaned Fridge and kettle by herself. Kids bad in the bedroom is short, so it was an issue for them to sleep there together. Bathroom painted by dark color, so you don't see there any issue.
There is no free parking on premise. This free parking is on the beach, so you have 10 minutes of walk to this parking under a blazing sun and terrible humidity of Barcelona.
Location is not bad, it's close to the beach, you can get there by 10 minutes of walk, but for city center (like La Rambla) it's quite required to use metro or bus. There are groceries and supermarkets in the walk distance, so it helps too.
Bottom line, it's my big mistake to take this apartment, it absolutely is not worth the money we paid for, I will never take it again in my future visits to Barcelona.
