Pictures accurate and apartment in a good location, little off the tourist area however with a moderate walk you can be in a gothic quarter, beach etc. Value also quite good.
However had a fairly atrocious checkin experience. Had filled in document and tax details as required for Barcelona couple of weeks before trip. On day of the trip was still yet to receieve a digital key which is the only way to get into the apartment. Contacted host early in the morning and over a fairly dragged out process confirmed that they had everything they needed, they asked for my email again and said everything was fine. Sitting at the airport come checkin time still no key. Tried to contact them and no reply for hours. Escalated to airbnb team and they couldn't contact them. Finally 4/5 hours past checkin time, they messaged me the link. With no apology, or any explanation.
For a company that has 150+ apartments they are maanging on airbnb, can't quite belive how bad they made the experince. Personally I would avoid booking with them. cheers nick
