The apartment is bright and in a lovely area, just a few steps away from the beach and in the heart of Poblenou, a lively and vibrant neighborhood. It would be perfect for a short summer break, but I’m afraid it is really not equipped for a longer stay (like in my case), especially in winter time. The heating does not work well so it gets quite cold, and the windows are old so it rains inside. Most of the kitchen tools are worn out and there’s not even a table with chairs to have a seated meal. Again, all of this would be fine for a weekend, but it’s definitely not ideal if you have to spend two winter months there. The hosts understood my points and were absolutely reasonable in renegotiating the terms of my stay. This has been much appreciated.
