Similarly, as with other reviews, it was a genuinely great flat for short-term use. As a point of note, I was placed in the apartment above the one listed. The main difference is the welcomed small window in the bedroom to the inner air shaft of the building, sliding bedroom door and a solid partition.
Pros
- Perfect location central to Barcelona but far away enough from the tourists.
- Great for short-term stays with fast internet speeds.
- Has an elevator.
- Relatively quiet but neighbours could be easily heard.
- Great communication and flexibility from all people at the letting agency.
Cons
- The biggest con for me was the lack of natural light. Working from the apartment I had to leave the lights on as the only direct sunlight came from the balcony doors at one end of the apartment. Often reflected from the opposite building's wall. This doesn't reach the enclosed bedroom and would be difficult to wake up.
- Long-term stays (month or more) may find it difficult as it does not have appliances such as an oven, dishwasher or vacuum cleaner specifically for the flat.
- The bathroom ceiling had a cutout hole as it appeared there had been some recent work to the ventilation.
