Pros: Comfortable, roomy living room for groups to spend time together. Comfortable beds. Very clean. A lively neighborhood with a mix of residential, offices, small shops and restaurants.
Cons: Late arrival of manager for check in. There is no place except the busy sidewalk to wait. I had seen a review stating the same problem for another renter, before we rented but I assumed it wouldn't happen again. Lack of cooking tools, not a single matching pot and lid, nor anything that could go in the oven. You may want to bring aluminum foil if you have any desire to use the oven. Lack of printed instructions for washer/dryer made it nearly impossible to use. Barcelona has a progressive trash collection sorting of compost, as well as glass and paper but we couldn't find a general trash bin. It would be very helpful for responsible visitors to have information, and more than one bin, about how to sort trash. We had everything mixed together for a week before we realized it needed to be sorted. Absolutely communicate by Airbnb email only. We sent a text directly to the manager about the internet not working and didn't get any response for a full day, and only after we used the Airbnb email.
