Great apartment in a great location! Plenty of space for the two of us, and 2 bedrooms means it's a great place to explore the fab city of Barcelona for a family or 2 couples!
Our arrival wasn't the smoothest as when we arrived at the time agreed with the owner, there was nobody to let us in. When the cleaning lady (who only spoke Spanish) arrived 20 minutes later, she first had to clean the apartment before we could check in. Not good enough, and I wasn't impressed by the excuses the owner gave us later. We took a set of keys and returned after the cleaning lady had cleaned the place.
The apartment is well equipped, except for a lack of suitable pans to cook a meal with. Also no information about how equipment works, and as a result we couldn't get a number of features to work, e.g. the outside floor lighting and speaker systems, the TV surround sound system and the ceramic hob (although when we asked we were told that on the hob, 1 is the highest setting, 6 the lowest rather than the other way around). There was something wrong with the washing machine (very noisy and the smell of burning rubber), and the toaster wasn't fully functioning (but Mires came and left a boxed new toaster for us to unpack and replace the faulty one with).
The bathroom could do with a proper update, as there's a lot of dirt and mould building up in the shower where bathroom sealant has been applied very badly.
Overall a great stay - apart from the hiccup when we checked in
