The apartment was mostly nice. It is a good space, mostly clean, with wonderful views. However, the bed was very uncomfortable to sleep on. I’m not sure why they provided a basic spring mattress. For the cost of these accommodations I would have expected better - perhaps a tempurpedic mattress or atleast a mattress topper. I wrote the management team about this and the next day I was notified that a replacement would be purchased. One of the team members arrived at the place (after giving me notice) to measure for a new bed. It unfortunately didn’t arrive before my departure but the team did let me know it would be in place for the next guest. I slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable during my stay.
Another area of opportunity for the accommodations was that only three rolls of tissue were provided for seven days. They were small rolls and the texture was rough. I ended up purchasing my own. The microwave had a broken button - the button that opens the appliance, but the team member from the AirBnB management team fixed it with no problem.
In the bedroom there was a small outdated television. I suggested to the management team that the owner should invest in a new television for the bedroom. Even if it is the same size. I couldn’t access any streaming applications or plug in my Amazon Firestick. Which was a small inconvenience but I did pay a lot for the accommodations, so I thought the suggestion to be appropriate.
Overall, this apartment was a great stay for my first time in Barcelona which I would recommend to anyone. The views were spectacular, the washing machine was a great convenience, the showers were hot, the building was quiet, the streets downstairs were lively (bring earplugs if you’re an early sleeper - really helps), and there were so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. I can’t wait to stay here again one day.
