Eduard was great at responding quickly prior to check-in as well as throughout our stay. He was also flexible with letting us drop off our bags prior to check-in due to our early arriving flight. This made the first day of our trip so much smoother. The doors/windows out onto the balcony were great look out on, and having a clothes washer + iron was really convenient. Building felt safe and secure.
This was mentioned in other reviews, but the photos in this listing were not of the apartment we stayed in. The layout is the same, but the photos make the apartment appear more warm/cozy than it actually is (e.g. no coffee table, no flowers, not nearly as much on the walls, none of the throw pillows) -- for a listing with so many up-close detail photos of these things that don't exist, this feels disingenuous. Otherwise, I think in general, this spot just needs some sprucing up. Having stayed in in many airbnb's in a number of countries, Barcelona seemed to be filled mostly with places that solely exist for renting, and it's so obvious when you're staying in a place like that vs. one that's actually someone's home.
