A very spacious apartment in a good location close to a metro station and within walking distance to most of the attractions. The flat is clean and comfortable and the area around has a few supermarkets and places to eat.
However, there are a couple of things that could be improved:
- The check in process was difficult. They seemed to be very set on us giving them the exact time of our arrival which is impossible to estimate when you arrive into a busy airport in a city that you don't know. I had to call them several times with updated arrival times. The calls all go to some central reception and at one point they put me on hold like in a call centre thus delaying our arrival!
- A 20 euro charge for arriving after 9pm is a bit unreasonable - basically if your flight gets in after 6.30 pm you risk having to pay that if the airport is a bit busy.
- This is not a private landlord renting their own place - they clearly have a few of these flats around Barcelona and the place felt a bit impersonal. There was no tea/coffee or anything really.
- I really didn't like that the contract specified that we needed to take our bins out as otherwise they would charge us for damage. Not sure what the cleaning charge is paying for!
