I have mixed feelings about this rental, The location of the apartment and markets in the area were fantastic, you have easy access to the metro (3 blocks away). The open market, and supermarket below it made breakfast and meals much easier when not eating out. The beds were very comfortable and internet was very good. Communication prior to our arrival was also very good and timely. Unfortunately the stay was not without issues, I'm not sure what constitutes adequate AC in Spain but it was definitely an issue (they did send someone to look at it, but didn't really change anything), front and rear bedrooms were very warm. inquiries about possible fan were just dropped (we were told there was one which we said we couldn't find). Hence sleeping at night wasn't the best. My wife reported the best rental hair dryer she's ever used :-) As for the issues: Its tough coming to a rental apartment where the cupboards are almost bare other than bare essentials (oil, salt, pepper and sugar), I've found there are two types of apartments one can rent while away; those well supplied as the owner realize visitors don't want to buy everything only to throw it out later or feel they are completely supplying the next person (spices, napkins, toilet paper, (there was one roll, kitchen paper) and those that offer bare minimums. I put this one in the latter category and the type we try to avoid. Although the kitchen has most of what you need (regarding pots and pans), cooking was difficult, knives (often an issue, were very dull, and dangerous), there were no spices, 1 hot pad, and minimum cooking utensils for those that really do want to cook (as a family its tough to eat out for every meal). There was no book describing locations and distances of things right around the apartment or even things locals might not think to do, this is always a super helpful thing to find. I would also suggest something in the description about the visitors tax for Barcelona in the summer, although small it would be nice to know as I'm sure some people are not comfortable giving out all the details (including passport information) about their party prior to arrival. Power (or should I say the kettle) in the apartment was an issue as well as the tea kettle tripped the breaker every time it was used (finding the breaker box was a bit tough but once done we were good). All in all a decent stay but not an apartment I'd probably choose in the future at least for my family
