Roger's place was as advertised. Check-in was automated and everything was spotless when we got in. Some thoughts about the place from the week we stayed:
1. The location is pretty good for being in poblenou. The closest stop metro stop is llacuna which is like barely 2min walk away. A 5 min walk will take you to a pedestrian only street filled with restaurants and food shops. There's a small convenience store right below the apartment and a full fledge super market not much further.
2. The apartment, as i mentioned, was very clean when we checked in. Fresh towels in the bedroom, kitchen has cups/plates/cooking utensils. Even had a bottle of wine in the fridge. The road its on is pretty quiet. I'm a pretty light sleeper and i had no issues sleeping through the night. One thing I'll mention is that the shower tub is pretty narrow and high off the ground so we had to be careful getting in and out.
3. Communicating with Roger was fine. He has an office below the apartment and someone is in from 10-14.00.
4. I had some issue figuring out the AC. I found the best setting to be putting the blower in auto mode instead of setting it to low, medium, high, etc.
5. The apartment had extra trash bags and laundry detergent which was nice to find.
