The apartment is located in a great part of Barcelona, close to some lovely beaches, great restaurants and shopping. It is also relatively quiet.
Unfortunately, the apartment had been very cheaply fitted out (mostly from Ikea) and felt more like student accommodation rather than the advertised luxury apartment. Two of the beds were provided with sheets and a thin blanket. The third bed only had a sheet. When we asked for more bedding we were refused and told to turn down the airconditioning. We tried this but my one child was still cold. My husband overheated without the aircon on and noone got any sleep.
One of the beds consisted of two single beds which had been placed together to make a king bed. Unfortunately no measures had been taken to properly join these two beds, nor to stop them moving around. On the third night my child fell through the middle of the two beds and onto the floor when they slid apart. He was lucky not to injure himself.
The apartment is advertised as giving you a breakfast pack which contains all you need for your first breakfast. In reality this pack contained 3 coffee pods (which were unable to be used in the coffee machine due to some flaw which caused it to squash the pods before they could be used, 2 tea bags,4 sachets of raw sugar, 2 sachets of sweetener, 2 sachets of salt, 2 sachets of pepper, 1 small pot of olive oil, 1 small pot of balsamic vinegar and 2 lotus biscuits). There was no milk, bread or cereal. In addition, the cupboards were completely bare of condiments etc. Whilst not an expectation, we have generally found in most air bnbs we have stayed at that there are basic things like oil, salt, pepper, herbs etc. which have been left behind by other guests.
The housekeepers have also failed to monitor breakages and replace them as needed. This meant that the apartment had only 5 glass tumblers, 1 wine glass and 1 champagne flute. The sandwich press which was provided had a broken handle.
So, all in all, whilst the apartment is in a great location, I do not feel that it deserves the title of 'luxury apartment'. Would I stay here again? Only if there was no other accommodation in the local area.
