The location was very central, we had a decent view of the Sagrada Familia from the apartment itself, and there is a small grocery shop right next door. We felt it could have been cleaner and better maintained, the crockery and cutlery was not particularly clean, nor were some of the surfaces which is especially important during Covid.
It wasn’t very homely and not really an ‘Airbnb Plus’ apartment. They only gave us 4 coffee pods for the entire stay, there was no shampoo, only shower gel and hand soap, and there was no guide or manual for the apartment. On the other hand, they did provide washing up liquid and laundry tablets which was very useful, so if they made these provisions more consistent this aspect could easily be improved. The bathroom window could not be opened so didn’t have much ventilation at all.
The apartment was very loud from the lifts and other people in the block which was not ideal.
In terms of the host, it seems to be a company so a team of people. The check-in process was smooth, but we do feel that they could have communicated better at times.
Overall, I would recommend the apartment for a short stay, but will say there is definitely room for improvement.
