Great stay, would stay here again. We liked:
* the location: very close to Liceu station, the Rambla, the Raval, Gothic quarter and the Born areas, with many cafes and restaurants within minutes' walk
* very quiet despite being so central
* good communication with Eva over Whatsapp
* excellent amenities with attention for detail, for example: there were extra towels and bed linen, there was a vacuum cleaner, plates and cutlery, some hand soap and garbage bags already present, etc.
* there is a supermarket (Alcampo) just across from the apartment
* clean and spacious (for Barcelona standards)
There are two things that surprised us, and I wish for Eva to manage future guests' expectations better in this regard:
* We were asked to sign another surprise contract after booking, on top of the Airbnb terms. Eva explained that this is a legal requirement for longer stays, which is fine, but—this should be clearly mentioned on the listing BEFORE booking, and at the moment of writing it is not mentioned. I do appreciate that the contract was in both Spanish and English.
* The pictures make the apartment look brighter and more modern than it actually is. In reality there's not much natural light and there is never direct sunlight (in Feb), and all furniture showed signs of use. None of this is a problem (and I understand the lighting is above Barcelona average), but it should be reflected in the photos.
