Our stay with Jaume was outstanding. We arrived quite early in the afternoon and were able to leave our luggage at his office until check in time of 4pm. Virginia was very lovely and introduced us to the apartment. The apartment literally had everythjng we could think of except a hairdryer which wasn’t a problem for us as we had our own. The kitchen was of decent size and we could make some simple breakfast with ease. The bedrooms were quite spacious and had wardrobes with hangers. There were two bathrooms, one was slightly small and the other was of good size. On our first night, we tried using the bigger bathroom and the hot water tab was broken. We informed Virginia straight away and she tried to find someone to fix it for us the following day. Unfortunately it was difficult to find replacement tabs so it was eventually fixed on the 3rd day. We were understanding as they were honest with us. Before the shower knob was fixed, our family of 6 had to share the small shower which was bit of a struggle. But now that it is fixed I’m sure future guests will be fine.
I stayed in the biggest room which was closest to the street. At night you can definitely hear cars passing by and sometimes neighbours talking on the balcony. Personally it wasn’t a problem for a deep sleepy especially after long tiring days exploring Barcelona. However light sleepers should avoid that room. The guests in the other two rooms had no complaints of street noises.
The apartment complex itself felt really safe which was quite important to us. There was a lovely man guarding the lobby all the time who always greeted us.
Apart from the little mishap of the shower knob, the apartment would’ve been perfect. The location is was great too, train and bus stops were within 5 minutes walking distance.
