We had a very nice time in Barcelona and Quim’s place was the perfect place to retire to after a day/ night out in the city. Quim also allowed us a much later checkout for a great rate as our flight home was a late one.
We thought it was unusual to have little to no toilet roll, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, washing machine tablets on arrival - this could be an added touch that would be much appreciated.
The temperature in the apartment was very high during our stay which made it quite uncomfortable and stuffy. The fans were much needed but if the aircon was fully working it would be a much more pleasant stay.
While staying in the apartment we received two noise complaints - one at 4.30am (weekend) and one at 11.30pm (Sunday night).
The noise complaints we received really left us feeling uncomfortable in the apartment, like we couldn’t enjoy our holiday.
Keep in mind we aren’t a rowdy or loud group and to be able to have a quiet conversation (conversational volume, no shouting) at night without feeling like we’re being listened to would have made us a lot more comfortable.
As a group of adult couples I think in the end this made us a little annoyed, considering on neither of the occasions were we being loud and being told to keep the volume down felt a little unnecessary with other apartments around us playing music throughout the night. I conveyed this frustration to our host but was told that we could “also talk quieter”.
Overall a very pleasant stay in a beautiful city, we just felt a little irked with the noise issues.
