There are some really fantastic things about this place and some disappointments as well. The space itself is actually rather small. We were confused by the listing and thought we had a private bathroom, but it was shared. This didn’t end up being problematic though. No elevator thing was actually frustrating. Yes, it’s listed, but the hassle is not clear. It may technically be on the 3rd floor, it’s more like 6 floors up since it’s a historic building with more stairs than usual per flight and the condo is the penthouse! It was exhausting! We made it, but you should know this in advance in case you’re carrying heavy luggage. Now for the positive- the location is incredible. It’s literally in the middle of Las Ramblas, so you’re very well situated. Importantly, Mercedes is great! She responds very quickly to emails and was generally available to help us with anything we needed, including suggestions for where to go and what to see. She provided maps and directions, snacks, and bottled water. She also set up a discounted taxi option to the airport, which was great. Overall, our experience was good and she was a great host.
