Rosa is a lovely host who always responded to queries quickly and helpfully. We really enjoyed our Barcelona trip but found there to be both good and not so good points with the apartment.
Pros
-Location, location, location. It is just off Placa Reial yet is so quiet.
-Space. Plenty of room for a family of four.
-Beds. Four large single beds. All very comfy.
-Roof terrace-amazing space although in the heat of summer it was too hot to use much.
Cons
-Air con-probably a misunderstanding on my behalf but I was expecting the whole apartment to be air conditioned. The air con was only in kitchen. Bedrooms had fans but we found it hard to sleep because the rooms were so hot.
-Smoking- we are not smokers but the apartment smelt of smoke and our clothes all did when we arrived home. I would also think this is a fire risk since the apartment is on 4th floor with no fire exit apart from main stairs.
-Stairs- we are a reasonably fit family but 112 stairs in the heat (August) was hard work with luggage. We knew about the stairs but hadn’t anticipated the heat in the stairwells.
In summary I would not hesitate to stay in an apartment owned by Rosa. However I would ensure that it was at a cooler time of year (not peak summer) and in a smoke free apartment.
