First the good stuff:
* Excellent location! Sagrada Familia is a 10 minute walk.
* The rooftop terrace is amazing
* Flat is beautiful - gorgeous floors. Sunny & bright.
* There's a place to store your luggage before & after checkout.
* Flat is air conditioned
* Kitchen is well equipped.
Now for the not so good:
* The bathroom is not very clean & really needs an update.
* Whilst we appreciated a separate toilet, that also needs an update & was not very clean.
* The beds have spring mattresses & are not very comfortable.
* The flat it self is very quiet & you can barely hear the traffic, but most of the other flats in the building seem to also be rentals & we were unfortunate to have loud and noisy neighbours.
* For the last two days there was construction work going on in the building. Loud drilling noises permeated the entire flat. When I messaged the caretaker to ask her how long we could expect the construction work (so we could plan our time in and out of the flat accordingly) she responded by telling me that Barcelona is a big city and I should expect noise & if I wanted to check out early I could. :| Now, as a Londoner, I don't expect needing to be lectured on noise levels in cities. I had also not complained but just asked how long the works were planned for. So the response was pointlessly patronising. Also the AirBnb heading for this flat literally says it is "Quiet", so maybe if you think Barcelona is a noisy city then don't advertise a 'quiet' flat.
Overall my review sounds more negative than my actual experience. I think this is a really good flat and had it not been for that message from the caretaker I would have had a much shorter review.
