We had the opportunity to stay 6 weeks in the apartment. Some perceptions:
Pros
- It is a spacious and beautiful apartment, just like the pictures. recently renovated with a nice balcon and access to a super nice terrace
- The apartment is very well located in one of the main streets of L’Eixample, full of markets, restaurantes, bars and everything you need. It is also well connected to several subway stations (Provença/Diagonal, Paseig de Gracia and Universitat) and buses.
- Since the apartment is faced to an internal patio, even in a busy street, you don't hear anything from there
- Good internet connection (200mb/s) which was enough to work with zoom calls during the stay
Cons:
- The apt was total equipped but some maintenance was needed. The dinner table were broken and it wasn't replaced.
- The customer support was terrible! Beyond the dinner table, we had issues with the shower drain that was clogged. We weren't able to shower and they took 5 days to send someone claiming that the maintenance agenda was booked (!!!). We had to shower at the gym those days and they didn't provide any solution, which it was very disrespectful.
- The smaller room is far away from the only AC at the apt, and it was very uncomfortable to sleep there during summer. The fan available wasn't working and we needed to buy another one
- It's a building full of others Airbnb's and some of our neighbours were very loud during weekdays after 2am. Also we had a bad experience with them leaving their garbage in the commun area.
