I arrived rather late at night & Sander kindly waited up to greet me. He also helped communicate with my cab driver who spoke very little English.
I was a guest at Sander’s for 6 nights & found out this was rare as other guests were in & out within 2-3 days. The room is small but sufficient during my stay, although I imagine it could be rather tight for 2 + luggages especially for the length of stay like mine. There is (central) air-conditioning at some times of the day but not overnight. There is however a fan in the room & it worked pretty well to ventilate whilst cooling the room (this is summer in Barcelona). The area is quiet & I was able to get a good night’s rest throughout my time there.
The apartment is stylish, accessible & immaculate. Sander works hard to keep the place clean & comfortable too. There are strict house rules in place as mentioned in the listing. It may not be for everyone but it helps to maintain the comfortability of amenities especially the shared bathroom. I personally did not have direct access to laundry facilities as Sander offered to do it for me but do ask the host if in doubt.
Sander lives & work in the apartment so he is always around if you have questions or require recommendations to the local area. He is also quick to respond to messages on the app. Overall a pleasant experience & will recommend to anyone looking for a short-term stay in Barcelona!
