First, the positives: The location is excellent (although at the top of a pretty steep hill from the metro), there are two bedrooms and the Wi-fi is fast. Unfortunately there are plenty of negatives as well. The kindest way to describe this place is "tired". The listing photographer should be commended for the excellent job they did glossing over the reality. There are scuff marks and stains on most walls and surfaces, the (wooden) window sill in the shower has mould damage, the tap sprays water from tiny holes whenever turned on and the thoroughness of the cleaning is questionable - I found rubbish from a previous guest in the shower. There are also light switches all over the place that don't seem to do anything. Getting a good night's sleep is difficult as both beds squeak, the pillows are the kind your head sinks right through, one bedroom opens onto the elevator shaft and the noise insulation for surrounding apartments is non-existent to the point where I know exactly where the person in the apartment above me got dressed every morning (although I'm told noise insulation is a problem with Barcelona apartments in general). The apartment does have a washing machine, but there is nowhere to hang clothes inside and no pegs have been provided to use the suspended lines outside, so our clothes ended up damp. The air con works, but the heating mode does nothing. It is also worth noting that this place is unsuitable for anyone wanting work remotely. There is only one proper chair in the apartment (the others are stools) and its back is loose and wobbles constantly, giving no support. Overall, for the price paid, I expected a much more comfortable stay. My advice to the owner is to invest the time doing a proper refurbishment, sort the appliances out and have a think about the little details. At the very least, give it a lick of paint!
