Bad start: Checkin was 3 pm so I called at 1 pm from the beach. Was assured the appartment would be ready. On arrival at 3pm the maid had just started cleaning and told me it would take about 2-3 hours. After calling the host he suggested we go for lunch or something an come back later. Only after insisting and calling AirBnB the process was speeded up and we were able to move in. AirBnb arranged for the cleaning fee of 65 Euro to be reimbursed - great.
Pros: Good location to Placa Catalunya and metro but next time would go more central or to the beaches. Easy to get the key at the local mini supermarket. Powerfull Aircon - and necessary.
Cons: Not very clean. Cleaning had to be rushed and was not done thourogly - hairs in bathroom, unspecific white drops (2-3) on the sofa and especially: pool area not very clean. Rubbish lying around, pool water unclean and no supervision - people smoke, listen to music and take their dog up to the roof (where does he pee?). Apparently the building (10+ appartments) is rented as a party location and of course the pool are is really small vor 20, 40+ people in the house. However, cleaning should be more frequently and thourougly.
Would we book again: No. Reasons: Host does not care enough and party location - should have known.
