This apartment is a walk up several stories on a very narrow brick staircase. Makes it challenging getting luggage in and out. No elevator.
Location is near to markets and basic shopping and if you are willing, quite walk able to most attractions. We usually walked 45 minute each way, every day to see the sights. The apartment can accommodate 2 - 4 people but of course the pull out bed in the front room, is pretty basic. Also many basic amenities missing. (very few towels, pillows, duvet covers, no toiletries at all etc). Light in the kitchen is broken. All the appliances are a Teka brand and were very hard if not impossible to get to work. Good laundry line on the balcony though.
There was construction going on next door and we could hear hammering most of the time. This apartment is owned by an "absentee" host - we did not meet Jordi. He has a helper, Ramon who arrives and disappears with great speed. So you are on your own. Next time I would definitely stay in an apartment whee the owner also lives on site. Of course Barcelona is a wonderful city. We were helped many times by complete strangers and everyone we met was friendly and kind. Loved it and would definitely return!
