There are plenty of positives and some negatives to this place. And let me also say the communication is top notch. 24/7 you can expect a response to anything within minutes which is so incredibly impressive!
Positives:
* GREAT location. It doesnt get better. Right in the heart of everything.
* Beautiful sunkissed terrace that makes you want to spend all your time outside when you are in the house.
* Beautiful old well maintained building with marble and really lovely old world feel. The lift is so gorgeous its from a movie!
* Spacious apartment even by Barcelona standards and lots of light!
* Everything you need to wash, dry and cook etc. But you need to buy washing detergent of course. Cutlery and basic utensils are available but its super basic. Get whatever you need with you!
The negatives (as others mentioned):
* The gym right above means during most of the day from very early on music starts blaring and weights start hitting the floor right above you. If you are planning on working from home, this can be a problem.
* The AC has a sensor that is a little far from the bedroom so at night I had to keep having to wake up to re-activate it.
* The apartment being super central and heavily used means you should expect quite a bit of wear and tear to doors, knobs, handles, everything that is heavily touched.
* Yes the light from outside is not great. The second door in the apartment has a giant glass pane which brings in all the light from the lift area. Makes it hard to sleep if you are sensitive to light like me.
