Great in location: Very close to a metro station. Only 4 stops to the Passeig de Gràcia and the Sagrade Familia. 10 minutes’ walk to the city beach.
The apartment was just as pictures: it has an unbelievable spacious living room with two toilets. All the modern appliances have high quality and easy to use. It’s one of the most Beautiful apartments I have ever stayed.
Host was nice: When we arrived Barcelona, there was a demonstration took place. Arina gave us many information about the demonstration and helpful suggestion.
Unfortunately, there were still some issues which made our experience less than ideal:
1. The apartment is managed by the agent company “youstylish”. As there was a demonstration in Barcelona, we booked a transfer service (55 Euro) from the agent company. We had to wait for more than 30 minutes at the airport, and a taxi driver came to pick us up.
2. The welcome gift was warmhearted. But we found the milk in the gift was opened and smiled not so good.
3. There were no hooks to hang used towels in the toilet, which was not so convenient.

4. The saddest things of this stay:
When we arrived the apartment, it was about 20:00 because of the demonstration, the agent staff had to walk to our apartment in order to give us the room key and said he probably could not go home because of that demonstration. We didn’t do a carefully check around the house with him together and let the staff go as early as possible.
Three days after we checked out, we were required to pay an extra-cleaning fee (120 Euro) for some stains of the sofa. We didn’t except that, because we kept the room very clean and tidy. We had noticed one or two little stains at the very first day when we arrived. We just thought they were old stains and haven’t paid attention to them. Of course, we didn’t stain the sofa.
Now we have already declined the pay request and let the Airbnb to make the judgment. Good for us that we made some photos in the apartment which could prove we were innocent. Anyway, it feels so bad by being treated unjustly. In the Arina’s position I can totally understand how bad she feels when she saw some stains on the sofa. But by our side, our Barcelona trip experience was also ruined.
Suggestions for other guests: When you check in, remember to check around all the rooms with your host or the agent staff together and take some pictures.
