The place is great: Good size rooms, great kitchen, good views from the balcony, there are 2 bathrooms that the showerheads just need some attention.
The communication with them it's EXCELLENT.
Location is GREAT:
- 25 minutes walking to Barceloneta and 20 to the port.
-The Metro stop it's just outside the door. And believe it or not, we didn't hear significant noise from the street or the metro.
- 25 minutes walking towards Plaza España and the Magic Fountains.
- Lots of business around the apartment: restaurants, pharmacy, mini-markets, etc...
The price of the apartment was very convenient for a family of 8, but also, because the price it's low, there are "non-family oriented groups" that will rent the apartments above and below.
The apartment belongs to "AB apartments", so the whole building it's for a temporary stay. The apartment that we stayed in was on the 3rd floor, but there is an apartment above us that has access to the terrace, and any party that happened there we could hear it in the apartment the whole night until 6am.
Even though the rules said that noise after 10pm is frowned upon, it didn't seem to apply to them.
I suggest filling up the Check-in form at least a day of arrival as the App to open the front door may not work properly. In that case, you may need to arrange with the owners another solution, as they are very very responsive.
The apartment doesn’t deserve a bad review, just vacation priorities vary from group to group.
Thanks for the hospitality.
