This is a very spacious place with great storage but extremely basic amenities. Don’t plan on cooking much because there aren’t many pots or pans and what’s there is super basic and a bit old. The location is good with bus stops nearby. It’s not central so you will most likely need to use transportation to get around. It’s a quick taxi to Parc Ciutadella or the beaches of Barcelonetta. The a/c and lift worked beautifully and were truly greatly appreciated, but overall the place does need a facelift. If you like “spotless” this isn’t it, but it’s clean enough. A bit run down and in need of a paint job, updated bathroom fixtures, grouting to remove mold in the tiles, and a few more newer amenities would make it up to par for the price. It could use a deep cleaning to feel fresh. I purchased cleaning products to remove the buildup of grime around the bathroom sink and to clean the hair and dirt out of the tub. The mini blinds are mostly all bent and could use a good dusting. But the view from the living room of street life and big green trees is pretty nice! The repair man who came to fix a stuck window in the bedroom said this unit needed a complete remodel. I’m sure it will be fabulous once that happens (as it really has so much potential) and the Housecleaner’s start doing their work with pride. Overall, however, it was “home” for a week and truly served its purpose. I did have an issue with checkout. As it’s gated, which is excellent, the gates are locked at night contrary to what the management group told me. I had an early departure and had to take the keys with me otherwise I would not have been able to exit the courtyard to get to the street to catch my 5am taxi!! The office assured me I could leave the keys on the table, lock the door behind me and exit the gates without a problem at 5am. Thank goodness I checked first to see if the gate was unlocked or I’d still be standing in the courtyard waiting for someone to wake early for work to let me out!! I emailed them about me taking the keys, feeling really bad about that as it’s not mine to take, and said I’d mail it back. I’ve yet to hear from anyone!
So overall, it’s spacious with a lift and great a/c and internet. If you’re not too discerning, then this place is perfect.
