PROS:
-Great location! One block away from Diagonal and Passeig de Gracia. Two Metro stations two blocks away. Taxi stands and availability a block away on both Diagonal and Passeig. Three supermarkets and a pharmacy just around the corner. Fine and casual dining venues steps away, including Barcelona's best gelato "Parallelo".
-Management office downstairs very convenient. Staff most helpful, friendly and professional.
-Modern appointments and updated kitchen and bathrooms.
-Very clean. We were able to schedule a general cleaning after two weeks through management. The housekeeper was very nice, thorough, friendly and accommodating.
CONS:
-Washer and dryer are combined both into one unit; the dryer function did not work and we had to hang our damp laundry on a drying rack in the hallway. Tedious and time-consuming.
-The keyless door lock was quirky to operate. It took us a while to get the hang of it.
-Double beds felt a bit small for us accustomed to a king size bed.
-Two bedrooms that face the street at times experienced late night noise from local activity in the neighborhood
-Can hear noise from upstairs neighbors. Happened to us soon after we got there and it was annoying especially at 4:00 am. Fortunately those noisy guests left soon after and this became less of an annoyance.
