Avoid this apartment.
It looks nice on photos, but in reality it's old and barely maintained. I stayed with my family for a week there and needed to extend my stay in Barcelona for another week, but had to opt for another apartment instead. We easily found a much better, newer apartment in the same area at a very similar price point.
Here's a non-exhaustive things that disappointed us:
- mould in the washing machine
- rusty pipes leaking onto the washing machine
- mould and dirt all over the shower cabin seams
- abysmal Wi-Fi signal outside of the bedroom. We had to use the mobile network most of the time.
- doors in the bedrooms squeak *very* loudly. If you plan on sharing the bedroom with your partner, you *will* wake them up when using the doors at night. I'm pretty sure that the neighbours also hear these doors, as the volume level when opening one of the doors is comparable to moving furniture around and is heard throughout the entire apartment and even on the house staircase.
- the larger bedroom window lets in a lot of noise, and this is a very busy street. There's a nightclub below the apartment, so get ready for some dance music at night hours.
- the larger bed has a solid headboard that's not attached to the bed, balancing between the wall and the bed frame. Because of that, the headboard just bangs on the wall loudly if you accidentally touch it with your head or arms. Again, if you are here with a partner, you *will* wake them up with this during the night unless you both are fully motionless when sleeping.
- bathroom door handle is falling apart and is barely attached to the door
- kitchen hood isn't functioning
- all glasses and tableware stationed on the open kitchen tray were dusty, so be careful to wash them before using
- not particularly clean overall – most surfaces were OK, but otherwise the apartment hasn't been cleaned thoroughly for months, if not years.
Also note that there's no AC in the apartment, so it can get quite chilly during the colder season, and I assume quite hot in summer, which we overlooked when booking this place.
