The apartment is in a great location right next to Carrer de Blai where there are many bars and restaurants and you can always find something good to eat during the day and especially during the night. It is very close to Parc Montjuic, the metro station and only a twenty minutes walk from the city Center. The main room of the apartment is very nice with a big kitchen and pretty tiles on the floor.
However there are also several downsides of the apartment:
-there was no fixed air conditioning only fans and after we applied quite some pressure one bigger mobile unit which was nonetheless only of little help. It was barely able to cool down one room (it was too small to cool even half of the apartment) and the noise from the air conditioning and the fans was constant and unbearable,
-the apartment is located in such a way that the sun shines on it for most of the day so there is little to no relief from the heat. During our stay we rarely had less than 30 degrees in the apartment. In the beginning there were no curtains or shades in front of the windows and only after we complained about the heat the landlady installed curtains in front if the windows,
-the state of the apartments bathrooms is far from what is appropriate. The showers are neither clean nor sanitary. In the end we even met the many legged co-inhabitants of the drains,
-when we checked in the apartment was neither cooled down nor was it clean. We had to scrub the floors and the bathrooms before we felt halfway comfortable, the crib was not installed even though we had specifically asked for it before we arrived. We had to set it up ourselves,
-the work station is more or less a storage room and not a comfortable place to work remotely.
Even though this apartment would have a lot of potential we would not recommend a stay here.
