My first disappointing Airbnb. Main issue was the host’s concern at us using the fan (that is provided in the room) during the night, because it’s apparently too noisy. The appartement is supposed to have aircon, but it doesn’t. He said for us to be quiet, which we tried to be, but one must surely be permitted to be able to talk? However, I understand why he needs his guests to be quiet-the walls to other guest’s rooms (each side) are so thin you can hear everything from the next room. Next issue was cleanliness-it’s very poor in all areas, dust was everywhere especially in the bath and on radiators and the toilet had very bad limescale and hadn’t seen bleach for some time. Very poor finish to the decoration, paint was slap-dash and finishing poor. Sockets behind the door were not functioning. No plug for bath provided. Kitchen had no kettle and was dirty and very worn. Room should not be described XL , it’s a small room.
On the positive side, it’s easy to get into the centre of Barcelona by bus, which stops only a minutes walk away, and the bed was comfortable (albeit with some amount of ‘roll-together’) I can recommend the cafe ‘Waffle’ just down the road for an excellent meal or snack!
