Possibly the best location in all of Barcelona—with an unobstructed view of Sagrada Familia right in front of you! Clean and stylish apartment which looks newly-renovated. Building is steps away from the metro station and the taxi stand. Elevator is tiny but typical by European standards—note that it can only fit 2 people OR 1 person & 1 big piece of luggage.
Living room is spacious and airy, with an amazing view of the Sagrada Familia. The bathroom is tiny but functional. Be warned that the corner shower is small and borderline unsafe for those with claustrophobia. They have a small balcony good for 2-3 people, which looks out into the amazing view. The king-sized bedroom is great, though like usual European rooms, it is not a “true” king bed, rather two separate queen beds put together. Kitchen is well-stocked with flatware, utensils and cooking supplies. The laundry room is also a plus, though we never got to use it. WiFi was fast and reliable.
Only negative experience was that we were asked for a security deposit (in cash) upon check in. This was not clearly and specifically stated in our communications prior to our stay. They only told us about the tourist tax to be paid. Though they informed us about the deposit, they never said that it needed to be paid in cash, and we thought that Airbnb was the one in charge of the deposit.
Overall, good value and a view that can’t be beat!
