I seriously doubted between a really fancy 4* hotel and this airbnb, since the rates were identical. In the past I've always had good experiences with airbnb and I like the personal touch of appartments, so I chose once more for airbnb. It's also the first time that I really regret my choice. The only good thing I can mention about this place is that it's relatively clean. However, there's a constant smell of urine in the bathroom, the fridge is very noisy, the bed is of terrible Ikea quality. I do understand that Barcelona has become a tourist hotspot and that rates have gone up, but this is really not the standard I expect for that rate, especially if you can have a nice room in a high end design hotel for the same price. I think it's terribly overpriced for the quality I've received. Next time I'll reconsider hotels over airbnb.
