While the area is lovely and communication with B&F went smoothly, we are not that keen on recommending this place. Basically because of two reasons. The first one being the price. Compared to similar places we felt this place was quite expensive. Considering the high price, we were a bit disappointed that it’s decorated to the bare minimum; the couch is uncomfortable and a bit dirty, chairs and table feel cheap, there are hardly any plants and the kitchen utensils are also ‘just the minimum’ to get by. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but we feel that for this money we could expect a bit more from an apartment. The second reason relates to the decoration.. because we didn’t feel really comfortable the apartment also lacked a sense of ‘home’. I know that this is subjective, but I do feel it’s important because this apartment is for long stay. We just didn’t really feel at home.
I would like to close with some positive remarks though because there were some pluses as well:
- the street is one of the best ones in Eixample with loads of nice restaurants
- the roof terrace is really nice and we had loads of dinners there
- B&F is good to communicate with. They respond quickly.
