I had an excellent welcome from Anthony's workers, and Alex was great at communicating both before and during our stay. He also kindly gave us an early check-in, which was very much appreciated. Thank you Anthony.
The flat is very central, and the area is very busy. Some people have complained of noise, but that did not bother me... though it did bother my husband. There are plenty of shops for coffees and a small supermarket two doors up which was very handy and enjoyable.
The flat was sparklingly clean, and the beds were comfortable. The cleaners arrived at 10am on the day of our departure, which was a little surprising as check out is 11am ( or earlier) . This made for an unpleasant hassled and rushed feeling at the end of our stay which was unfortunate.
On the more negative side, I was astounded (considering the fully enclosed nature of the flat, with no windows or doors to an outside area) to find no fire extinguisher and no instructions anywhere for a fire exit procedure. Neither did there seem to be any fire alarms anywhere. There is just one exit down the stairwell, I don't know what you would do in the event of a fire in that location, or if one broke out in the flat as the flat is fully enclosed and there is no way out that is known to guests. There is just one window that opens from the bedroom into an enclosed courtyard and has bars on the windows, otherwise there is a door that opens out into another courtyard, with no exit and is enclosed.
To finish on a more positive note (as our stay WAS nice) I've linked a video taken the time we left (so our stuff is messed around the flat!) but it will give you an idea of the flat and its style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Ap1VfweDo or if this link does not work look on youtube for 'AirBnB Carrer dels Tallers nº 28, Ent/lo, Barcelona 08001, SPAIN'.
Thank you Anthony for providing your flat to rent out. It was clean and in a central area.
