We had 5 night stay with our family of 4 kids- we chose based on location and quality of reviews.
First impressions are confronting as the apartment is in a quite shabby looking street and the building is in a poor state. The inside however presents very well and is quite grand. A few streets over and you are into some lovely parts of Gracia district but this isn’t one of them.
Some things about the apartment were excellent- a new boiler so showers were good, a new induction cooktop. However lots of other things were in poor condition or broken- no bath taps so you have to fill the bath using the shower head, poor mattresses- we had to sleep on the spare beds as ours was like a rock, no spare linen or dryer which for a family is problematic. Also worth knowing that the adjacent building is being renovated so every morning construction noise starts early and it is very noisy in these older apartment buildings. I’d say the apartment didn’t meet our expectations and other reviews didn’t reflect our experience.
