Our stay with Habitat Apartments sadly was a huge disappointment. My partner and I have just arrived home to America from our 5 night stay in Barcelona, and if we had known what we were getting ourselves in for, we would never have paid $1200 for 5 nights. I would have looked for another apartment. I'm not one for complaining but I feel it needed to supply anyone booking this apartment with our full experience. As it could easily happen to you. Firstly, I suggest that no one stay at this apartment until you get confirmation that the mattress and bedding has been changed. If you look through everyone's reviews on this apartment you will see how they all mention how uncomfortable the bed is. I took it upon myself two months before out stay to ask Sito the host if they could change the mattress before our stay, as no one wants to sleep on a rock after a long day of sight seeing. Sito said that he would ask the owner to change it, and when I followed up with him again prior to the trip he said he believed the mattress was changed. GREAT! Sadly, when we were let into the apartment the first thing I saw and felt was the most uncomfortable mattress in the world. This is not a joke! When I asked the agent who greeted us why the mattress had not been changed, she was unaware of the situation, and actually told me shes never felt nor sat on the mattress before. I was on shock. The amount of money that people spend to stay in this 5 star rare find apartment, and the amount of negative reviews regarding the bed. You would think that someone would have addressed the situation, let alone just sat on the bed. The bed was so uncomfortable I had to sleep on the sofa for most of the week. I'm being honest when I say you can feel the springs digging into your stomach and back when you lay on it, its very very hard. The floor was more comfortable. Before we had even arrived at the apartment, I emailed Sito to let him know that we were running a little late, and he said that the agent whom I had never heard of before was going to be letting us in. Sadly she arrived an hour after we turned up, leaving us stuck outside the building. We waited for twenty minutes until we decided to carry our luggage to a nearby restaurant and grab a drink. 40 minutes later I received a call asking if we were there, she still had not arrived. Once we signed off on the place and paid our taxes we settled in for what turned out to be the worst nights sleep we've had. I cannot in words explain to you how loud the staircase and building is when people are in the corridors or entering/exciting the elevator. It literally sounds like people are stood at the bottom of your bed talking and banging doors. Its just our bad luck that we stayed there the week when other younger adults wanted to party, and families had screaming children. But we were kept up all hours of the night, by men and women drunk and shouting, until 4am and then screaming kids in the hallways until 7am. I'm led on the sofa at this point, and my partner is led on the bed with headphones and music on trying to block the noise. It was a joke. When we finally drifted off, we were woken up an hour later at around 8am to the noise of hammering and drilling on our roof. This apartment is the rooftop apartment 7 floors up and it was just our luck that we arrived on construction week. We had been given no heads up that the whole apartment from bathroom to kitchen, and kitchen to terrace was going to be surrounded by scaffolding. At this point we both got up, but felt very uncomfortable knowing that men were on our private terrace working, on our roof, and could stand on the scaffolding outside the bathroom window and look in because the curtains were see through. We could not shower that morning, nor have our breakfast on the terrace as planned. I have stayed at many an AirBnb and have even hosted myself and I've never wrote a bad review let alone complained. But this first night was worthy of a complaint. I emailed Sito who responded a couple of hours later apologizing but was unaware of any of it. Although Sito was responsive through our stay and very understanding, all the issues and bad scenarios that were happening were out of his hands. All he could do was apologize for the construction, the workers, the bed, the noise, and so on. Later that day, Sito emailed me to let me know that the construction workers would be back a couple of days later at 8am to work on our terrace. Of course I told him that this was out of order, and that I should have been told this prior to my stay. Part of the reason I chose this apartment was because of the amazing views looking straight onto Sagrada Familia. They truly were spectacular. But three our of the 5 mornings, we were unable to go out there, because of the construction. On our last morning, we couldnt even use the terrace because we woke to workers ripping the private fence down that split the two opposite apartment. We took pictures of everything because we couldnt quite believe our eyes. They were lugging bricks and cement up and down the one elevator so we couldn't even take our luggage down for an hour. Sito, again apologized and said it was the owner making the decisions and that he could do nothing. I told him that I would be making an official complaint with AirBnb...
