We appreciated that the apartment was central and close to many of the sites that we had planned to visit during our stay in Barcelona. The apartment itself was quite clean, and for us, that was a big plus. Also, the communication with Albert was excellent and he was very responsive. The space was, however, a bit smaller than we had expected, especially the bathroom and shower stall. It felt like trying to take a shower in the space of a phone booth. While this may be typical for apartments in the area, it was just not what we were used to. When entering the building, there is a strong odor of cigarettes in the common area, but once in the apartment, the air quality was thankfully much better. Overall, this was an excellent value.
