Really enjoyed Juanjo’s prompt communication and the location is top notch, 2 blocks to Placa Catalina’s and La Rambla. The apt is of sufficient size and is quiet at night, save when other owner/renters enter or leave. There are many small issues however that would make a stay more enjoyable.
1. We had not specifically asked for early ck/in but when it was available we were thrilled, given the early hour, and being exhausted . We were stunned however to find that there was a $30 euro extra charge—we cannot imagine the need for such a change in these circumstances and have never seen in before in Airbnb. 2. Our check-in could not have been more brief. Alba was pleasant and when directly
questioned, she responded but it was obvious she wanted to get us the keys and leave as soon as possible. 3. Missing amenities: every Airbnb has different standards but most today supply a wide range of amenities—cooking oil, lots of spices, paper towels, kitchen towels and plenty of dishwasher detergent. All of that was missing, save 1 tab for the Dishwasher and salt and pepper. I had to buy 3 rolls of paper towels (smallest size they offered at Carrefore), so we would have something to use as napkins, wipe down hands and countertops. In addition there were just 4 coffee pods (1of which was broken) and no sweetener or creamer). 4. In the bathroom we received 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel per person, which I don’t believe is sufficient for 4 days. The size of the soap bars was minuscule as well.
Finally, overall, the cleanliness was marginal. Superficially it was clean, but the floors clearly had not been swept or mopped in some time.
Obviously, all of these could be corrected for vey little money.
Overall, we would stay here again, the location and potential of the apartment being high, if we were assured these issues were corrected.
