As the air-condition is not working (and to complex to fix as the host said) it is getting very hot. This is the main reason why I cannot recommend the apartment.
Unfortunately our request to enter the apartment before 5pm was declined and actually the digital keys to enter where provided only half past 5.
The reason for declination was that there is not enough time to clean, which seems weird as the digital keys are automatically deactivated at 11am and the cleaning women arrived at exactly 11 am. The apartment doesn't look like it is cleaned for hours.
Besides that the apartment needs some renovation. I can confirm previous comments that the furniture is damaged and discolored. Curtains in one room not wide enough to keep it dark, in case you don’ want wake up by the morning sun.
Besides that the location is great, a lot of cafes, restaurants, and a supermarket in the same block. Only 10/15min walk from La Rambla or other attractions. The apartment is a great size and feels even more spacious than it does on the pictures.
