I stayed in this building a few years ago but in a different unit—I’d stay in this building again but would definitely try for the other unit.
We love the Eixample area and have stayed several times—it’s a vibrant neighborhood with amazing restaurants and far enough away from the touristy areas that it feels neighborhoody and authentic.
Check in was remote and easy with the app. Wasn’t a huge fan of having to use the app to open the door every time—spent a lot of time making sure my phone was charged throughout the day to avoid being locked out.
That being said, the apartment is pretty average. It’s spacious with high ceilings and a nice view/balcony plus a fully equipped kitchen and good WiFi/air conditioning, so yeah it’s mostly fine but it could be better especially at that price point.
The sofa is very uncomfortable (it slants downward so you feel like you’re falling off).
And being that the unit is on a lower floor the front bedroom is basically unusable due to the street noise (it was loud for me and I’ve lived in Philly proper my whole life). Thankfully the back bedroom was very peaceful but could be an issue for larger families.
The flooring was cheap laminate that wasn’t in the greatest condition. The bathroom seems big but is somehow still tight and has no charm, plus the shower head tilts toward the wall so you feel like you’re showering against the wall the whole time.
Also it’s run by a large management company so issues are handled, but slowly—the washing machine wasn’t working and we ran out of clothes. They started by sending me a manual on how to operate it which wasted a whole day and wasn’t the issue. They didn’t send someone til 2 days later and by then we had already gone to a laundromat. It wasn’t a big deal but just FYI.
Overall I highly recommend the neighborhood but probably wouldn’t stay in this apartment again.
