This is a cute apartment with a great location. Bus stop and metro are just 3-5 mins walk. There is a small grocery store, massage spa and very good restaurant on the block. Alejandro and his partner Julien are very friendly. The living are was nice to relax in. We had 4 in our group. I think it would be small for any more than 4, especially with one bath.
When we stayed a group of students had just left after 5 months so the house was a bit dusty and needed a deeper cleaning than normal. I mentioned that to Julien and he sent someone to clean the next day, which was wonderful. She didn’t really address the problem but I’ve told Alejandro so hopefully they will get it taken care of.
The kitchen was nice to have. You’ll need to bring paper towels. There were a few plates and cups, etc missing so you may want to buy paper products. They have basic kitchen equipment but not enough to prepare large meals. We bought frozen pizzas from the grocery store next door and that worked out well.
My cautions would be the following- the bathroom has a strong mold/mildew smell. If you have sensitivities to this it could be a problem. The front bedroom gets a good amount of street noise and the back bedroom (double bed) has a lot of noise from the lobby and rooms above. So if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. The beds were comfortable though.
Overall it was a nice place to stay. I’m sure they will address the dust and hopefully be able to get better ventilation in the bathroom. It is a good please to stay to easily explore Barcelona
