The location was amazing, the apartment was great, and everything about the apartment itself was very good!
The apartment is located down the street from la Sagrada Familia, literally a block away. The neighborhood was lively and busy, yet the apartment had good noise canceling which allows for quiet, restful nights. It is walking distance from practically anything you may need and the metro station is down the street on the same block as the building.
The communication with the host was simple and answered very promptly. They were informative and very professional. When we arrived (a bit late as our flight from London was very delayed due to strikes in France) there was someone there to greet us and explain everything about the apartment. He was very helpful and even suggested some places to have dinner. Lastly he warned us to take short showers as there are some plumbing problems in the only restroom in the apartment. Not a problem but warning should be given in the apartment information.
It the only drawback and negative experience we had. Because of this one of the building’s neighbors ruined our first night and the entire feeling of our stay. This neighbor very rudely (and loudly) proceeded to berate us telling us her apartment was full of water and that she would call the police to force us to pay for damages. That was our first experience arriving at the apartment. It was an experience that definitely could be avoided if a little care were given to this area.
Again, great apartment in a superb location, just be wary and extremely cautious of your water use if you decide to stay.
