Hi to everyone )
We stayed at Josep's apartment from the 4th of September au to the 8 th of September 2019.
The flat itself. Josep's flat is well equipped and in general nice. You can find a toster and a coffee machine there. That's what we used. The kitchen has as well pots for cooking, though we didn't use them.
The location is very good. It's a bit father from the centre but there you are able to feel the life of Barcelona in its full atmosphere. The metro or the bus stop is 7 min of walk. 30 min by the public transport and you're in the centre or near the beach. We used to go to the Boheme cafe to have breakfasts. The place is very nice. It's pretty quiet and for 3 euros you can buy a coffee, a sandwich and 2 mini chocolate croissants. What can be better! )
Check-in time. Here be careful! We had a booking from the 3rd of September and had to change the booking to the 4th of September as we didn't notice during booking that the check-in is possible only by 21:00. Probably some of you would think that there is nothing strange. A lot of hosts write like that and provide check-in during late hours. But not this case!!! Josep wrote to me a week before the trip and asked about our time of arrival and here we got a problem. Our flight arrived at 23:45 to the airport, so it was obvious that we were not able to check-in up to 21:00. Josep wrote that he was out of the city and nobody could provide us to the flat after 21:00 :( What a pity! According to the rules we had only 1 day to cancel booking for 1 day and have a return of only 50% of the price, 50 euros. In other case we could lose money for the whole night and not spend there a minute. So, we had more trouble with searching new booking for 1 day that cost us 110 euros, additional costs and for sure, time to move from one place to another. So be careful with that issue if your flight arrives late.
