Carlos's home in Barcelona was very nice. We especially enjoyed being so close to the Metro and the local bakeries sand grocery store and parks within walking distance.
We traveled with our 2 young kids, ages 5 and 2. Lots of stairs and a tiny elevator meant we got lots of family exercise.
The bathroom was newly renovated, and while there was nowhere to hang up our towels, it was a nice bathroom. For some strange reason the toilet tank filed with steamy hot water, too.
While we spent very little *awake* time in the apartment, when we were home one evening preparing dinner and then eating on the patio, evidently us scooting the patio chairs in and out from the table was disruptive to the downstairs neighbors. An older woman came up to ask us to stop. We shared this with Carlos, and he said he'd replace the chair leg material to help with this.
If you're traveling with a young child, keep an eye on them if they will sleep on the top bunk bed (my tot would have rolled through the rail from the top bunk if I hadn't been standing there).
Having a full kitchen that was well stocked was so nice, as was the ability to wash our clothes. The tv never worked for us, but the wifgi did work really well.
Finally, every morning I woke up with little bug bites of some kind on my body. They were small, and they itch sometimes but not all the time. There were new ones every morning, no matter if we slept with the window open or shut. We searched on, in, and under the mattress and never saw an actual bug.
Overall, we enjoyed the home and the neighborhoodvery much.
