This is my first review like this one. Me and my family spent almost one week in Jamica's apartment. We traveled one month in Spain using Airbnb and this was the only one that really let us down.
There were so many things wrong with it that it would be hard to know where to start: heaters that didn't work, incredibly dirty kitchen, water heater that leaked and spill all the kitchen counter, dirty floor and tables, stained towels (and I think there was a stain in the couch as well), no basic supplies (like toilet paper or a sponge), curtains that didn't cover the full bedroom windows... the list goes on.
One thing that you need to know is that they will not come and give you the keys of the apartment. Nor these are available in a locker on the building. You will have to walk to the office of the company renting this apartment, which is around 10-12 minutes away from the place (at a good pace). This is not mentioned at all in the description of the place, nor when the host contact you. She just wrote to me before arriving "so at what time are you passing by the office?".
One thing to highlight was the filthy kitchen. Cups and glasses had a type of dirt-crust on the button that made them just disgusting. The floor was dirty and so were the tables. We spent the first night cleaning everything. Even though Jamica offered to sent someone the next day it would not make sense really, as we cleaned everything the first night.
Some heaters didn't worked and nights get cold. So all of my family members ended up coughing or with a cold after the stay here.
Additionally the city taxes are not included in the price. So they will send you a separate money request for that. It's ok that they do it, but this is also not clear in the description of the place. For other touristic cities this is covered in what you as a guest pay. It would be nice if they just say it upfront before you request to stay so you are aware of how much it really costs.
The location is nice, tho. Very close to the Passeig de Gracia, which was one of the variables why we choose the place. The beds were ok. Windows didn't had any noise isolation so expect noise from the outside at night.
I would recommend the host to check the apartments before they handle them. Also to arrange themselves to handle the keys and not make anyone walk to any office. And if this is the case, say it upfront in the property description (with other details like the taxes not being included). I felt that I should have the cleaning fee reimbursed.
The apartment has potential if they do some slight changes. But at this point it was a very disappointing experience.
