We appreciated being in this apartment. It was clean, comfortable and roomy enough for all of us, a family of 5 w 3 teenagers. Everyone had his own bed and space, and having the two bathrooms was key. We appreciated the quiet location, the lovely light and big windows, the cleanliness of everything, and having a washing machine & dishwasher (We were there for 6 nights so was nice to have these things). The issue of the electricity cutting out when the door is opened is a inconvenience but not a huge problem, especially in winter when we didn't need to worry about cooling down the apartment. But it also meant the dishwasher and washing machine didn't run when we were out of the apartment -- took some getting used to!
It would have been nice to have a welcome note from the host with local tips and ideas, some flowers, or a bottle of wine--anything-- to welcome us. Although the young woman who greeted us with the keys was very kind, the whole stay seemed very impersonal. We have stayed at other air bnb's where the host left special touches or made efforts to welcome us and we feel like that puts other places over the top. That being said, this apartment is great and has everything you need. There are several nice restaurants on the block as well as a small grocery store, and an amazing chocolate shop and cafe on Carrer de Casp. The quiet location was very appreciated in the evening, and just a short walk away are all the sites and sounds of bustling Barcelona! Would recommend.
