Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay at this apartment and I rated it 5 stars. Communication was prompt and helpful with our contact, Stephane. To check in, you will meet someone there and they give you the keys and show you around. Note that you have to pay the occupancy tax in cash upon check-in. Stephane reached out a few hours before check-in via WhatsApp to see when we would be there. During our stay, the toilet flush broke, and after reaching out, Stephane had a plumber there the next day to fix the issue. The apartment is modern and clean, but sparse, as are other Airbnb's that are not lived in. The location is not super convenient, but we loved it. We had a lot of fun exploring the neighborhood. It's more local than other parts of Barcelona and you'll see a lot of families and squares where locals hang out. There are grocery stores close by and a bakery on the corner. It's a 12-minute walk to the nearest metro stops (Joanic or Fontana). But there are bus stops a little closer. We ended up taking taxis a few times because it's about a 1 hr walk from the Gothic Quarter/Raval area to the apartment. The washer and dryer in the basement were very much appreciated, but we couldn't get the dryers to dry our clothes. May have been a user error, but I'm not sure if they actually work. The beds were not terrible. Not the softest, but we slept fine. They do provide 2 fluffy pillows per bed. Both rooms darken with curtains, and there isn't much noise from the street or the neighbors. The apartment itself isn't super private. It's set up where you have 1 actual bedroom, and then a bedroom off of the living room with a hanging sliding door. So if you have someone moving around in the main living space, the people in the second bedroom will definitely hear that. Also, the bathroom door doesn't close tightly so you can hear people using the bathroom. The kitchen has all the necessary supplies you'll need for cooking small meals. The balcony off the back was great for sipping coffee every morning. The bathroom was nice and includes a bidet. The hot water in the shower lasts about 10-minutes. We had to schedule when we were taking showers so we all had hot water. We were only provided with only 1 roll of toilet paper, so we had to buy our own by day 3. There is a hairdryer in the bathroom. And an iron/ironing board in the basement. The wifi isn't super fast - about 10mbps. So if you need to work or video chat you may want to go to a cafe. There is an elevator in the building but the apt was on the 2nd floor so we didn't really need it. I appreciated that they gave us 2 sets of keys as we had 3 people staying there and we weren't always together. Checkout was a breeze. Just clean up, take the garbage out, and leave the keys there when you go. All the doors lock behind you.
