The apartment should be described as vintage instead of modern. If you like the vintage charm then the location is convenient between Verdaguer and Sagrada Família metro stations. The host was nice to allow self check in one hour early. The living room, dining room and kitchen areas are large. The washer and dryer were old but worked just fine.
The bedrooms are very small with no space for doors; the openings into the two bedrooms are covered by drapes. Even though the fan in the bedroom did not work, the air conditioning was strong enough for hot August. No room had a lock including the bathroom and the toilet. The bathroom has 1 shower stall with 2 heads and 2 sinks. However, it is cramped, dark, and old/dirty looking. There was no soap or shampoo so we bought our own. We prefer contemporary/remodeled fixtures and shower wall/floor.
The windows have antique wood shutters that are not sealed and you can hear the neighbor’s conversations. Some of the plates and cups are chipped or cracked. The dish washer rack is rusted. The bottle opener is rusted. Overall it was a disappointment and pricey.
