The best thing about the apartment is its location. Everything is at walking distance around Ramblas and Gothic Quarters. Kitchen is reasonable and equipped with necessary utansils. Central air conditioning is quite good. Two bathrooms are very useful for families (although hot water tank is too small for four).
This is where my positive note ends. My feedback is objective - for host to improve the apartment and guests to understand what they should expect.
Apartment looks dated, a little TLC is needed - pictures were probably taken while back.
Few observations (and suggestions for the host):
1. Hot water tank is too small for four people. One of us (family of four with two teens) had to wait for water to heat up once other three people had shower.
2. Floor was dusty. We sweeped the floor with brush but it was very difficult as dust continued to spread around (and I sneezed for an hour after that due to airborne dust). A small vacuum cleaner would be useful to unvestment. Everyday we found dust and fluff all over the tiled floor. We couldn't understand where it was coming from.
3. Bed linen and pillows were below acceptable standard - should be replaced ASAP.
4. Kitchen pantry was stinking due to wet mop left in there.
5. Light switches are hit and miss
