We have been living in airbnbs for over a year now. We travel the world and do monthly stays in different cities. This apartment was honestly a super reliable and solid option. Let me give you the pros and cos
PROS:
- everything in the flat functions properly
- extremely clean
- good natural light
- AC and heater works perfectly fine
- hot water
- good towels
- great & comfy bed
- spacious
- full kitchen (they even offer cooking and cleaning essentials)
- elevator
- EXCELLENT LOCATION (there are delicious restaurants steps away, i recommend Firebug, Grosso, La malcriada, Takumi Ramen and Hot Pot). Besides everything you want to see in Barcelona is within walking distance from here. I loved this area more than any other
- great internet (we work from home and use live streams all day, the internet was reliable with the exception of our last day there that it was failing for some reason)
- Plenty super markets all around you
- Gym 5min walk away (Smart fit)
CONS:
- the communication with the host was not always reliable, however, when they answer they are always very polite, helpful, and understanding
- they do not have a vacuum (they do have a groom), a change of sheets available, or a drying machine. So cleaning the floor was a bit challenging and changing sheets was impossible. We stayed for a month so we found it rare that these things were not facilitated. We had to pay for a cleaning session and we found it a bit expensive, but it was better than sleeping with dirty sheets.
In summary, this apartment is wonderful. It will be a reliable stay for you. If i come back to Barcelona this is a place i will consider again. It was very comfortable and convenient. Thank you for everything!
