A very clean, light and airy apartment in a quite neighbourhood. Overall we had a good stay but for some smallish issues which I needed to contact the host for. Things were prvided in a very measured and minimal way.
I ended up contacting the host a few times who was not the quickest to reply but did get around to it eventually. Communication was civil -
2 small loo rolls for 3 adults 7 nights stay, with no extra ones left in a cupboard etc made me worry about running out of loo roll, so had to request more. It was then mentioned that they only provided stuff for the 1st few days of the stay and not for the whole stay - which did not make any sense to me as wasn’t advised of this at any time during the booking process or before arrival. There was no reason to assume otherwise as this was an apartment advertised and not a hostel room.
No blankets or any extra linens in the cupboards at all and the smaller room especially got freezing cold despite turning the AC down. Told that beds only had sheets on them as summertime in Barcelona. Provided the next day.
Coffee machine did not work which I reported and a guy came out when we were out and advised that a button was broken. We had wasted 4 pods hoping it would work as it was coming on but water did not come out.
I reported that bathroom sink not draining well, maintainance guy reported ‘kitchen ‘ sink was ok - so unresolved.
No instructions on arrival as to how to use the safe and could not use - reported - response after 2 days
The kitchen did not have any salt +/- pepper/ sugar , even satchets etc- again not expensive to provide.
Also be aware that after I made the booking, I then got a message to pay a 300 Euro deposit and Barcelona Tourist tax of 92 euros . No mention of this before the booking. I was ok to pay this but would’ve liked to know this before making the booking, not after. Not been notified yet of a refund of the deposit although we arrived back 2 days ago.
Smart TV was good when it wasn’t buffering due to temperamental wi fi.
Couldn’t help feeling that this lovely apartment would feel superb with a more accurate listing and some thoughtful items as mentioned.
