On Airbnb site, the apartment looks well located. But it is NOT..... in summary the Host Zane is hiding the following .....

- 5 lanes of motorway pollution and noise ,
-45 euro per night parking costs,
no free overnight parking near by,
long way from nearest metro
and finally a host from the Adams family....
This apartment is NOT FOR CHILDREN........
First thing you notice when arriving to the apartment is the 5 lanes of the busiest road in Barcelona. (I have posted photos for all)
401 Caller d Arago is where this property is located check it out before booking.........
There is a balcony, but due to the busy motorway, is not usable. In fact throughout our stay, we kept the balcony shut, as the fumes and noise from motorway is unbearable.
Car parking in area is terrible. Zane the host, speaks of ‘plenty of parking’ . This in short is rubbish, 40 pounds 24 hr parking available across the motorway. Cars are towed routinetly.
Air conditioning unit water needs to be emptied every 4 hrs. If not.... ..... wait for it...... .. water pours onto the busy street...you soak pedestrians who consequently shout at the flat... as your on 1 st floor, this inconvenience is constant......
We were not told this by Host Zane...
Some Spanish apartments have a empty area running through the middle of the apartment block, this is to allow air to flow through, and clothes to dry. All neighbours above routinely throw water and other object down, and as Zanes flat is the bottom, everything is thrown into the flat. When we informed the landlady, she told us not to speak English loudly... as English is not liked.....this off course more rubbish from Host.... we have reported this to AirBnb
We left this apartment early.... due to troubles listed above and Major building works in flat opposite.. which was advertised throughout the apartment block, even though the Host claims she was not aware of...
Zane the Host is very experienced landlady who can manipulating circumstances and words..she is constantly apologises and then accuses her guests of bad etiquette.
She visited our apartment on more then 4 occasions, only twice informing us.
I stayed in 4 different places in 8 weeks, Zanes apartment was the terrible.... The Noise and Pollution from VERY busy road ... unfortunately makes this apartment unbearable.......
Especially when there are SO many hidden gems to be found on Airbnb in this beautiful city...
AVOID Caller d Arago at all costs...
