Our overall stay was pretty bad but, there were a few good things about this place so I will start there. First, it is about a 3 minute walk to the metro making it very convenient. The host was accommodating and allowed us to check in earlier. Also, the price was great for Barcelona.
However, the price does not make up for the negative experiences. First, not all the rooms had A/C which made sleeping uncomfortable. The place was also not very clean and upon our arrival found sand on the table and chairs. These things alone are not deal breakers but, things got progressively worse. We ended up finding cockroaches on our first night. At first we saw one in the kitchen but, soon after saw several in the bathroom and living room. When I messaged the host about the roaches, ignored my message.
Aside from the the roaches, we had issues with the toilet as it would not flush. We messages the host and we’re told someone would come fix it that day, however, they never showed up and we were told it would take an additional day to be fixed. Finally, on our last night we heard a woman shout from the street for help as she had just been robbed. Although this is not the hosts fault, that definitely made us feel unsafe.
Overall, this stay was very uncomfortable. Although the price was good, it’s not worth feeling unsafe or encountering cockroaches.
