The apartment was nice. For us (2 adults + 1 child) the size was perfect. It was clean and comfortable and with all the amenities one would need. I was participating at a conference at the convention center and so the location was convenient, but if I were to visit Barcelona again, I would probably want to be a little more central. The area is nice but very quiet — almost too quiet. I don’t need to be in the main areas of the city, but it would have been nicer to have been a couple blocks closer to the Ramblas de Poblenou and a train station. My biggest complaint has to do with the lack of instructions/information provided. It would have been helpful to have instructions about how to operate the washing machine, how to access the pool, where to throw the trash as well as a guide for the neighborhood- where is a market? Restaurant recommendations, etc. It was great having a washer/dryer but I wasn’t sure how to operate it. Luckily, I was able to google the model number and find the manual (only available in Spanish), so when the dryer kept making noise, I knew to empty the water filter (which for those from the US is not common practice.) My husband and son also got stuck in the pool area because when they arrived the door was open but when they tried to leave, the door was closed and none of the keys they had opened the door. Apparently, there is a magnetic key card for the pool, but none of this was explained to us upon arrival. Needless to say, communication with the owners was sparse. I only got instructions about arrival as I was in the plane en route to Barcelona. As a former AirBnB renter myself, I was surprised that we received zero explanation. When I mentioned this to the owner (via text) he said that there was a book by the TV with instructions/information but I couldn’t find any such book in the apartment (nor the key card for the pool.) The owner said that because no one was there to greet us (the cleaning lady let us in) we didn’t receive all the information as customary, but someone really should have checked to make that everything was in order at the apartment. The owner did manage to stop by but only on the 5th day of our 7 day stay. In sum, the apartment is lovely but communication with the owners was disappointing.
