The apartment was in a wonderful area. It is covered in scaffolding at the moment. You have a great view of some of La Sagrada Familias towers which you will definitely appreciate after visiting La Sagrada familia. The apartment was generally clean, but the floors were quite dusty. It is run down and definitely looks older than pictured. Check in and check out was easy. The bathroom was quite smelly, attempted to be masked with a strong air freshener. The water temp was difficult to control during our stay. On the last day we only had cold water and found an error code on the water heater. The dryer is useless - just to note if you are choosing this apartment based on the need to do laundry. There are clothing lines outside of the window.
