I couldn't be happier to be choosing The Lodging Team as my Airbnb for 5 weeks. The location of 373 D' Arago was spot on. It cant get more convenient than that. You have tons of restaurants and cafes within 1 block. Within 6 blocks you are in the major shopping area of Barcelona. You can get a cab within a minute in any given hour of the day or night. There's a big supermarket literally half block from the apartment.
The apartment itself is very clean. It's a little small for my taste but big enough for 2 people. It has a beautiful balcony which I adored. Everything works perfectly in the apartment. When I arrived, the safe and the towel dry rack didn't work but that was taken care of within the next day. The Lodging Team is very responsive and is on top of their games.
I went with a lot of their recommendations from the Host Guidebook and they all were on point.
There are a couple of things I would like to point out. Since the building is in the heart of Eixample Barcelona and Arago is one the busiest streets the apartment could get a little noisy if you leave the window or doors open. But it wasn't an issue for me since I love the city life and the noise. And it's totally fine if you keep the windows/doors closed.
I stayed there for 5 weeks, and wish that the cleaning was included in the price at-least every 2 weeks for longer durations of stay. I also wish that you could exchange the dirty towels/sheets with the new ones. They will bring you the new towels and sheets but they suggest to hold on to the dirty ones incase you choose to wash them and reuse them. Washing was not a problem since there's a washing machine but drying was a little troublesome for me since the weather was not very cooperative my entire stay. So I had to held onto the dirty towels and sheets for almost 2 weeks which I wasn't a big fan of. But I'm sure that's an easy fix by communicating with the Lodging Team.
You have to get in the building with your key which made me feel safer. I LOVED staying at this apartment and will definitely stay again during my next visit in Barcelona.
All in all I give The Lodging Team and their professionalism a 5 star and highly recommend that you stay with them. You will LOVE your experience in Barcelona.
