Pros
Location is amazing! Right in the heart of Barcelona, walking distance to food, beach, supermarkets. The size was perfect for 6 people. The host company was very responsive and met almost every request in a timely fashion. (We never received our second fan)The property has a washer and dryer which came in handy with small children. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with the basics(body wash soap/tea cofee) and with a supermarket and bank machine across the street, we were able to have breakfast at home and get cash easy.
Cons
If you come during the hot months be prepared as of the three bedrooms only one has an air conditioning so the other rooms were 80 F / 26 C All night. Fans were provided of which only two worked, this made it bareable but still very hot.
There is construction going on all around the apartment with scaffolding blocking every view. Since there are workers walking the scaffolding you will end up keeping all the shutters closed. You feel like you are in a cave with minimal natural light. The master-bedroom window opens up directly over a streetside
Bar but still under an over hang, so no light and the noise can be a problem. Some other minor issues are there are no english channels on the tv, the wifi is a little cumbersome to log on to, the dishwasher racks are extremely rusted over and there is some slight mold growing in the shower walls. The foyer of the apartment and the stairs leading up to the entry have an unpleaseant smell.
Summary
If you are not coming in the summer months and you plan to spend very little time in the property(out all day sight seeing) then the location makes it worth it. But if you are coming in the summer and expect to spend a day or two just relaxing indoors i wouldn't reccomend this location. (At least not until the host installs air conditioning through out the house and the outside construction is complete)
