My boyfriend and I, stayed with Teo and Kiko for about 12 days. Teo let us check in at 9 a.m. which the normal check in was 2 p.m. I believe. He was very accommodating. Trying to find the apartment was a little difficult at first. Once we found it, Teo unlocked the main door without being present. The apartment was on the first floor. We waited for a response from Teo. He then unlocked the apartment door without being present. We later found out he installed a system where he could unlock the doors from his phone. Which, is pretty neat. We stayed in the music room. The room itself had a sink, 5 outlets for charging, a table and 2 twin sized beds. The sheets were white and clean. The bed was very firm. The room was equipped with a fan and a window, which helped during the hot days. No air conditioning. The floor easily got dirty due to the streets. We suggest taking your shoes off upon entering the room or you will track black dirt inside. We cleaned the floor multiple times while staying here. Teo and Kiko allowed us to use their kitchen. We didn't end up cooking anything though. We just used the fridge to store our leftovers and water bottles. The bathroom is equipped with a sink, toilet and stand up shower. They provided toilet paper and shampoo, body wash and one towel. There was also a blow dryer under the sink you could use. There was always hot water. But, it took a bit to get the perfect temperature. Make sure that you clean the floor with the mop provided on the back porch after you shower. The water is shut off between 1 am - 6 am (I believe). So make sure you shower around those times. However, the bathroom is equipped with a sensor that turns on the water as you enter, so you can still flush the toilet. As I just mentioned the apartment has a back porch with 2 couches. We would sit out here and sip on some wine some nights, which was nice. The back porch also has a washer, no dryer. Teo asks to not use the washer after 10 p.m. or early in the morning. However, he does have 2 lines across the porch to hang clothes to dry. The apartment was pretty quiet most nights besides the neighbors across the way. The neighbors children were loud some nights. The location was perfect. It was less than a 2 minute walk to Las Ramblas and a 10 minute walk down to the Columbus Statue where the ocean was located. Other parts of the city were easily accessible because the apartment was located near the metro station, Liceu. Which was about a 5 minute walk. From Liceu you could get to pretty much anywhere it in the city. The metro cost 2.20 euros for one way. Which is a reasonable price and worth it...
