The apartment is rather more ‘tired’ and less homely than pictures suggest and could do with a refurb of the bathroom/shower. Table surfaces, sofa and towels were quite worn. The traffic noise is considerable but more disconcerting was noise from other apartments. Babies crying, doors slamming, so sleep was disturbed. Be prepared to be quite a distance from the centre. A 45 minute walk to Catalunya or 10 minute walk to the metro station.
The kitchen is very new and clean. Check in was very easy with an efficient key safe method.
No instructions for use of TV/ kitchen appliances. No English speaking channels . Bring your own DVDs. No tea towels for drying dishes. Plenty of bin bags and washing up liquid. No information or guest recommendations in the apartment about services in the locality , e.g. supermarkets, best restaurants/bars etc. WiFi available but very slow. There was some tea and coffee left in a cupboard but I always feel a bottle of water and milk in the fridge is welcoming for guests arriving late and tired. We enjoyed our stay and apart from the sound from other apartments, our comments are descriptions- not complaints!
