Gemma welcomed us to the apartment, she is a lovely host.
The apartment itself is nice, and spacious. Cooking in the apartment is quite difficult because there are 2 small hobs and a microwave (no kettle or oven).
The apartment is quite far out, taking normally 20 mins on the metro to get most places. And it's a 10 minute walk from Sagrada.
We had no problems during our stay, however Gemma and Esther were not happy with the apartment after we had left. To be fair, due to the fact that my friends (the 2 other guests) were in a rush to leave at the check out time, the apartment was quite untidy, I had left Barcelona 2 days prior to check out, although before I left, I had cleaned the apartment top to bottom (to ensure that any mess was reduced). Esther and Gemma called me on the morning of the checkout to express their dissatisfaction regarding the untidy apartment, and sent me photos of each room. I was hugely apologetic and being unable to return to put it right myself (I was no longer in Barcelona), I promised Esther I would do all I could to right the situation. I managed to contact my friends who offered to go back and tidy the apartment within 2 hours, but The hosts refused and said they had already arranged a cleaner to go in.
Although I accept full responsibility for the untidiness of the apartment we felt that the hosts charged us an unfair amount to get the apartment cleaned (€300). After several discussions, myself and the hosts were able to negotiate a price (€200) for the cleaning of the apartment.
The reason I am writing this is because I want to describe, honestly, our experience. I hope Gemma and Esther agree with this review, and I am not being unfair (I don't think I am).
Overall, I would still recommend this apartment for future Airbnb guests, just make sure it's the right location for your stay.
