We’re a family of four with 2 teenagers. We loved the neighborhood and the quieter street with easy access to places to eat and stroll or to pick up public transportation. The apartment was a disappointment but it grew on us. We had it for 5 nights. The photographs are too good in that they are very well lit, diminishing the reality and leaving out a few details we wished we had known about in advance: the sunny veranda area with the windows where you’d imagine having a coffee and looking out—the view is of the block’s interior and specifically some grungy rooftops and a seemingly unused derelict building; on the upside your laundry will dry very quickly in the sun. These windows offer the only real natural light in the house which does cover the adjacent living room. We don’t count the very dark and tiny kitchen with a window that opens into a narrow exterior corridor. Please know the bedroom windows do not open to the outside, this was unexpected; the very small “master” bedroom is dark. The entry to both the building and the apartment is drab. The positives are it has a local resident feel and the neighborhood is fabulous as mentioned, and the Stay U-Nique staff is all very helpful and communicative. They offered us a different available apartment after we arrived but it was far out of our price range. All in all the apartment was okay mostly because we chose to not hangout or cook there (dull cooking knives and scratched Teflon pans). I think if our expectations were set correctly in advance (i.e. perhaps this is a typical Barcelona apartment?) we wouldn’t have been surprised when we first arrived and just rolled with it from the getgo (after a long flight, jet lag, and our first visit to the country). So hopefully, if reading this review, you can set your expectations appropriately and enjoy this apartment from the start or choose elsewhere.
