While Ana is a nice host and communication with her is super easy, I wish I can say the same about her place but unfortunately, I simply can't except for the fact that it is in a great location. It is easy access by Metro (we used the Diagonal Stn) and there are lots of good restaurants and cafes around the area.
Now, for the cons - and boy, is there ever a lot of them! For starters, this place is not for you if you are a light sleeper - the wooden floor is very noisy. You can't even tiptoe around the place as the floors creak and make so much noise. I sometimes worry that the floor might actually give way. The AC in the bedroom is extremely noisy- It is like you are riding an old 1972 mustang- either you turn it off at night and sweat like crazy as there are no windows in the bedroom or you put up with the noise and have a sleepless night. I have a recording if anyone is interested.The bed is a killer too - not comfortable at all and the pillows... or should I say one long pillow on a double bed - that just does not work at all. I have seen other comments about the pillow (after the fact) - Ana should take some of these comments seriously - like come on, I am sure 2 pillows can't cost that much in Barcelona.
The bathroom is very small and cramp - I have never stayed in an AirBnB where there is no waste paper basket in the bathroom! Also, 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 guests for 6 days?? We were warned that the hot water tank is small so we had to "ration" the hot water daily for the 3 of us - sure, Barcelona in July is hot but one still needs hot/warm water for shower. The towels are old and have a strange smell to them.
The bathroom is useable for dwarfs and hobbits and not for normal people. Good luck if you need to take a shower or even use the toilet, too small to move, too old and filthy, everything is broken.
We didn't use the kitchen for cooking at all - no paper towel, no dish washing liquid by the sink. The fridge is small - there was a 1/2 opened bottle of water in the fridge (from a previous guest?) and a bug in the fridge! The first night, we had to sleep with the light above the kitchen table on as we couldn't find the light switch!
All in all, this was a disappointment - we have stayed in many AirBnBs over the years and this one definitely is a far cry from all the rest. We unfortunately did not enjoy our stay and do not recommend this place.
