Characteristic apartment with lovely family in great location!

But..

The photos and description are not accurate. Wat appealed to me was the brightness and light, but in real it is a very dark house. So, kudo's to the photographer for misleading me.

My check-in was a professional nightmare. The Soler family had all made other plans the day I would check-in.. I ended up coming the evening before, which was only possible due to a conference visit in town.

Taking into account that my check-in was done by Roger's mother who really does her best, most things got lost in translation - and that might explain some of the following:

The description speaks of a living room and terrace, but these aren't accessible for you. Maybe my expectations of a living room are different, there are some sofa's scattered around.

I didn't find the hairdryer or iron that are supposed to be facilities. (You should probably explicitly ask for them?)
I was allowed to use the washing machine however, so they are very flexible people.

The private room: small but comfortable space. The bed is however not a real bed. It's a camping bed with a 6cm mattress.
The furniture has changed, it is now cheap Ikea stuff instead of the antique wooden desks you see in the photo. No closet to hang clothes in either, but coat hangers are available.

Overall hygene: I have low tolerance of bad hygene, I have to say that as well. When I arrived everything had a thick layer of dust and there was a hair on my head pillow. When I complained about this (and Roger came to clean) the floors were mopped really well, but the dust remained untouched. Even though I now know the elderly lady who lives there has to do the cleaning (and so who could blame her, really) I don't feel like you can offer guests a room that just isn't cleaned.

Last notes: 'Laptop friendly' means there is a desk with a chair. There are 3 european plugs available (if you take out the 2 for the lamps) that are connected to a old and dangerous socket. The wifi - if it works - is really slow (a few minutes to load a Google search e.g.). So, not recommended for work-related stays. The house could actually also be rented out to more guests, which is not mentioned in the description. Roger himself doesn't live in the house, also not mentioned. His brother Albiol however does, and he is nice (ask him for a view from the rooftop terrace!).
