This is a spacious apartment with thoughtful aesthetics and a nice outdoors area. This apartment belongs in the 3.5 stars category - it is clean, spacious and in a fantastic location but don't expect it to be super luxurious or wholly modern. Quick descriptions of the various spaces in the apartment:
- Bedrooms: 6 bedrooms in total, 3 are bigger and all connected, 2 smaller bedrooms with bunk beds and another medium-sized one. 2 of the 3 main bedrooms get plenty of sunlight, have a gorgeous balcony attached but the 3rd one has no windows. Each of the rooms has wardrobes which is a plus (more hangers would be great).
- The common area with dining, living and two little balconies are lovely and great to hang out in. The kitchen area is also decently sized though some of the dishes were a bit dirty and the amenities provided could've been better - more coffee pods, no kitchen towels for instance. A recycling bin would've also been great to have.
- Bathrooms: very basic. There are 2 full bathrooms, one super tiny and another decently sized. There was a strong smell of sewage from one of the bathrooms on our 2nd or 3rd day there that we just sort of had to deal with.
- This is important if you tend to feel really hot in the summer: there is a super-strong AC in the living room but it is in one corner of the apartment and the rooms are on the other side (and the apartment has a really long corridor separating the rooms from the living room) so the air from the AC doesn't necessarily reach the rooms. If you're okay with just fans in 25-30 degrees celsius weather, what the apartment provides is totally fine. If not, i would encourage you to reconsider though I understand that finding apartments with AC in Barcelona can be tough.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found it comfortable enough for the price we paid. The bathrooms could've been a bit better and floors a tad bit cleaner but the location sort of made up for the other lacking bits.
