The location of this apartment is perfect. Central to everything, lively area, very easy to walk around and great restaurants/ shops. Check in was a breeze. We were met by one of the team, who let us in and showed us around the apartment. The host also called around to different pharmacies to secure us a wheelchair for one of our party, which was super helpful and appreciated.
The apartment pictures are accurate, it has a lovely bay window with lots of natural light. However there were some things about the building and home I wish I had known about. The elevator doors don’t seem to have much of a sensor. They closed on my 70 year old mother while she was in them, causing her a lot of pain. And the sofas in the apartment are terrible to sit on. It’s a wooden board on the bottom with some type of padding stuffed in a sheet that is considered the cushion. Not sure why a real couch has not been purchased but definitely not comfortable. There are chairs to sit on but again, not really comfortable. There is no ventilation in the bathrooms, so the smell can get musty after use.
Overall it was a pretty place, great location and helpful hosts but not the most comfortable if you want to relax at home for an evening. But then again you’re in Barcelona to see the city not hang out at the apartment.
