We were not met by Sergi to collect keys for the apartment.
The apartment is clean and in a nice quiet location, probably about half an hour bus ride away from the main tourist areas. The shower area is tiny and would not be suited for a larger person.
The blinds in both the bedroom and lounge area have been pulled so far down that they will not roll up again, so the space is not a light as depicted but has potential.
The building is secure, however hallway is very dark at night.
We were also charged $78 cleaning fee for 5 nights, however an additional list of 'house rules' on the table stipulates you must clean up everything yourself, including taking your rubbish out to the street. We thought this fee was a bit unfair considering the expectations.
Would have benefitted from some additional amenities such as a hairdryer, kettle with tea and coffee, and although there is a washing machine there is no soap, you have to provide that yourself (who wants to buy washing powder on holidays!?).
We asked about getting a key to the terrace so we could hang laundry which was supposed to be provided but wasn't, I followed up after a day and was requested to collect a spare key from the neighbour (which we didn't because I felt uncomfortable about it and didn't think it was my responsibility - it should have been provided).
We really enjoyed Barcelona.
