PLEASE, read this honest review before booking so you can make a well-informed decision about your stay, things we wished we had known earlier. This is the worst airbnb experience i've had.
We paid for 6 nights, but left halfway (desperate enough to book another hotel) due to continuous interrupted sleep. As dog lovers and dog owners ourselves, we were happy to consider jessy's place. However, if you are a light sleeper, I would not recommend you to proceed although her dogs are very sweet but bark excessively at every slightest sound and she was not able to control them. The synchronised barking of 4 chihuahuas would occur during the day, at odd hours in the night and early morning. She attempts to stop them but to no avail.
Other feedback to note:
- the toilet is extremely small even for a petite woman with practically no walking space inside. it gets uncomfortable to stand and shower in the small tub without hitting things and the floor outside of the shower gets wet & dirty easily
- we checked with jessy before booking this place as our flight arrives past midnight. there were some delays in barcelona airport and she waited for us but she was very impatient, pushy and tired.
- floors in the common area are very sticky, you might wish to bring along house slippers
- the room itself is recommended for one person, not two. there is no space to move around or access your luggage with the drawer bed pulled out.
- if you arrive home after midnight, she will not be pleased (we were not told there is a curfew imposed?). the toilet and bedroom doors are squeaky & loud when you open them as it is an old apartment.
One night, she knocked on our door aggressively and scolded us for leaving the toilet light on (we were taking turns to shower) because she does not have the habit of closing her bedroom door even while sleeping and light enters her room.
This is a very small apartment where everything you do or say can be heard by others. We did not feel welcome and mostly felt we were imposing on her and afraid to disturb her although we were paying guests.
The best decision we made during our stay in barcelona was to leave and pay more for a comfortable stay where we can feel at home!
