We had a terrible experience at this apartment but for the sake of giving an unbiased and useful review, we'll list the positive and negative aspects of our stay.
Positive:
The location of the apartment was great, the building is ten steps away from a metro station and 12 min walk away from las Ramblas. The bedrooms were nice, clean linen. Great to have two bathrooms if you're a big group.
Negative:
- When we arrived, the floor was completely dirty and dusty, the bathrooms were not clean at all and there were dirty dishes on the dishwasher. We contacted the host and they told us to submit the request through their own portal. We did and nothing ever happened.
- The worse thing about the apartment is that it seems like the whole building is for students. We didn't get any sleep on a Tuesday night because the music, the shouting, the people going up and down the stairs all night and moving of furniture around made it impossible. We called the emergency number provided by the hosts to complain. We're not sure if they did something but the shouting stopped around 2 am. At 5 am some drunk girls rang our bed repeatedly to say they couldn't open their apartment. Really horrible night!
- The dishwasher was not working.
So, if you're a group of young friends, you'll fit right in, but if you're a family, stay away from this place!
