This was definitely a stylish apartment with thoughtful touches! Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the apartment but I do have a few suggestions that I left for Cristina & Marta & Aina for make future stays even better.
What we loved:
1) Thoughtful touches: So thoughtful of them to leave us a bottle of wine! There were also maps of the city and the Metro map which was super handy!
2) Location: 5 mins walk to Mercat Nou Metro station to take you all over the city.
3) Having 3 bedrooms was great for our family to have our own space.
Things to keep in mind:
1) Fully furnished kitchen but no basics like cooking oil or salt and pepper. There is an oven, but no oven mitt or anything to get things out of the oven. I made these suggestions to the hosts.
2) There is a washing machine, but it is outside on the terrace of one of the bedrooms. Apparently it makes a lot of noise, because we got a pounding on our door by an angry neighbor that woke up our baby who added to the noise. If it was inside the apartment, perhaps it wouldn't be enough noise to bother the neighbors. We couldn't hear anything from inside or else we would not have used the washer.
3) Apartment was just renovated, but there was an overpowering paint smell, so we had to open the windows to air it out. This might not be an issue for future guests. There were also small things that I attributed to a rushed renovation to get it ready for guests- some of the locks weren't locking, the flush button on the toilet kept popping off, and some of the drains were getting back up when both the shower and sink faucet were both used at the same time.
4) There are actually 3 people hosting this place- Cristina, Marta, and Aina so it was hard to know who to contact when we had an issue. Marta's # is on the reservation, but she told me that Cristina would be checking us in. But it was actually Aina who checked us in. So I contacted Aina when we had an issue, but she never answered. So then I contacted Cristina who answered. Communication was efficient once I knew the correct person to contact so that was a little frustrating.
Also, these were all suggestions I made to the hosts so they may take care of them for future guests. But this is a great place for 2 couples or a family of 5 because of the 2 bathrooms and separate bedrooms.
