This apartment was in an good location near many tourist attractions and great shopping. The neighborhood was very pleasant with excellent restaurants all around. At night it was relatively quiet and the beds were very comfortable. My only complaint and the reason for 4/5 stars is that the back door to the laundry machines/broom/back deck was broken and a real pain to open and close. You have to lift the door and push up against the top left corner while closing, which was really annoying to deal with. The AC unit was broken in the living room and we were there for the European heat wave, BUT the other 3 units seemed to cool down the apartment so we were fine. The AC sometimes emits a funny smell, particularly when just the fan mode is on, but this could be normal for these units, I’m not sure. The host was very kind in providing us some neighborhood recommendations for Barcelona’s Saint Joan festival and had good communication throughout, so we were very appreciative of that good service. While the kitchen was stocked with basics, it’s not an ideal location if you plan on cooking several meals at home. We had our 5 and 8 year old boys with us who are always hungry and since many restaurants don’t open until 8 or 8:30, we often cooked dinner at the apartment which could be somewhat challenging at times. We weren’t left with any kitchen garbage bags other than the one provided when we arrived and were not provided any paper towels, and were there for 9 days, so a couple of these things would have been nice. These may be considered extra but are good to have on hand, again, even if it’s only just a couple. They did however provide some snacks, milk, juice, and wine, so this more than made up for no garbage bags or paper towels. All in all a nice apartment in a wonderful neighborhood.
