I am traveling to Barcelona quite frequently and have been in many apartments. Reyes‘ apartment is somewhere in the middle on a scale from 1 to 10.
The location is perfect and Reyes is a really nice host.
The pictures here on Airbnb are a little misleading, since the apartment looks way bigger and brighter.
We liked the design and everything and it was kinda clean. But in the shower we found hair from other persons who were there before us and there is a little mold between the tiles.
The drains seem like not working at all. In the sink the water would rise up and all of the stuff from brushing your teeth or shaving beards would just swim in there and not go down. It was messy. Also in the shower. So always low pressure while showering!!!
Some windows didn’t have a glass, only a wooden door. We were there in February and it gets cold in the night, especially in such an old building where there are stone walls around you. So we had to heat up the apartment with the AC which is not very green.
You should also travel with people you are not shy to share every noise that comes out of you. :D
The two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom which you can’t lock up. Communication was key for our group here.
Speaking of noises, you will here the neighbors and the workers from the bar downstairs. They started cleaning the kitchen with loud music at 8/8.30 and that was pretty much our alarm clock…
Reyes was absolutely lovely and friendly but unfortunately the apartment I will probably not rent again.
Thank you in spite of everything.
