Have you ever went to the cinema excited about all the cool reviews you had seen on Imdb about the movie you are about to watch, only to leave in utterly disappointment about how crappy the movie really was, melancholic about the precious time of your life you just wasted? This pretty much sums up our staying in this place. And as much as Immanol seems to be a very nice guy and was really quick organizing some extra requirements we asked for our 1-year old, like a protective barrier over the stairs and a baby crib , I really doubt even he knows how terrible the condition of this apartment is as it looks managed by a third party. For a start, forget about the ¨luxury¨ expectations. The experience is closer to an average Thai motel where western fugitives try evade their homeland police than to the ¨luxurious¨ atmosphere the description and overphotoshopped pics try to convince you are about to experience. The most luxurious thing you will find here is a Hansgrohe water tap. Finishings and painting are poor, furniture is relatively cheap and the whole place is badly worn out, begging for a long needed and overdue renovation. The ludicrous amount of dust, peeling wall paint, broken headboard on the main bed, destroyed carpets, scratched furniture, low water pressure, flickering cheap LED lights and the duct-taped window shade in one of the rooms did not exactly add to our sense of luxury. The apartment is not extremely noisy, but don´t expect a forest-hut either: Barcelona´s main boulevard runs 40 meters below you, and you will be able to neatly hear all the traffic noise coming through the apartment´s poorly insulated windows. I have seen filthier places, but not at a 250 eur/night price tag. However, my family and I have never inhaled so much dust over the course of 4 days. Seriously, our lungs literally hurt trying to filtrate (in vain) all these dusty particles. The quality of the air in there was at best a mixture of a Subsaharian sandstorm, a Siberian coal mine and your grandma´s unopened-for-decades attic. Stay out if you have asthma or allergies, you will not survive. Because of this major issue, it was easier for our oxygen-deprived brains to overlook the suspiciously thick and curved hairs glued to the wall of one of the bathrooms, the stained curtains and dusty patches under all beds and over half of the furniture, the never-washed windows and balconies or the blackened bathroom floors. Hopefully our towels and bed sheets were clean, and there were plenty of them. Finally, for 250eur/ night we would have appreciated to at least have some complimentary coffee and not be asked to leave our dishes behind clean. The military-style rationalized soap and shampoo lasted for exactly one bathing session, more generous quantities would have been appreciated. The only positive aspects that I can think of is an efficiently working air conditioning system that actually keeps the temperature in the...
