The first contact was really good, a lady working for Elio and Wilken in the office down the building explained us everything and gave us some nice tips & tricks about the city (restaurant etc.). Charming welcome! The location is great, you’re not in the center so it’s calmer and you are 2 minutes walk from the metro station Les Corts, very easy as you need to take the metro every time you want to go to the city center (with kids, otherwise you can walk). Also a few minutes from supermarkets and 10 minutes walking from a big city mall. The flat itself is located on the 4th floor and it is as you see on the pictures, the difference is that the pics on Airbnb are quite professional and made with a lot of extra light. Even on this very sunny week, none of the rooms were this luminous. Also, an air-conditioning has been added in the living so it takes a bit of space on the balcony, not a problem since you only have space for 2 people there while the airco is useful during this 35° week! The pictures must have been taken a few years ago because the kitchen for example is a bit “used”. There are a few things we would like to share. Only the living room and one bedroom have “real” windows. The 2 others (and the bathroom) have a view on the internal elevator shaft. As you guess, no light at all, noisy and the smell is not fantastic so you just don't open those windows. The apartment has been refreshed but it is located in an old building so the noise isolation is not optimal. It’s a “normal” building, which means people are living there and go to work, so you’ll need to be quiet before 8am and after 10pm, otherwise they can just push you out of the apartment (this is noted in the contract you sign upon arrival). The problem here is that the locals don’t really care about those rules. They wake you up at 6am, slamming doors and walking with heels from 7am. We woke up one day at the same hour than our neighbor because she did put her smartphone in vibrator mode. It was at 8am and we were lucky that she had turned her TV off at 3am. Cause yes, when you are in this flat, you live with the neighbors. I sneezed once and someone from another flat said “Bless you”. And on Friday night, the lady above us had some friends over for a party till 4am screaming and laughing all night long so we barely slept. I know that for a city trip you don’t want to watch TV all the time but in case of rainy days, beware that you only have Spanish TV channels. So if you want to see something in your language, take a HDMI cable with you so you can watch Netflix on the TV....
