This place is close and walkable to Paseo de gracia and many shops and restaurants. It is located across the street from a few nice gay bars next door to a nice Chinese restaurant.
I would rate it more of 2.5 stars and its definitely more like a “budget hotel”. There is alot of street noise (buses, recycling trucks with crashing glass, late nighters yelling in the streets around 2-3am). There is no dishwasher but there was a hairdryer, nice towels and olive oil/spices as amenities. Coffee pot was a small 4 cup type.
We had an issue with lack of hot water in the showers and Barbara quickly got someone in to look at it. We also had issues with the power outlets not working in the bedrooms when the AC was running. We did not report this but I’m confident that Barbara would have addressed it right away.
The time we sat on terrace we had to constantly shoo away pigeons and it would be good to have something out here to help keep them away. There are alot of pigeons in the courtyard to this building.
Overall, the place isn’t cozy & it feels fairly hollow with nothing on the walls, beds low on the floor & odds n ends furniture. There is a laminated sign on one of the bedroom doors stating no one is allowed to do drugs in the apartment. This felt concerning and added to the uncomfortable feeling. Maybe it’s necessary for some reason.
Its a very old building with really cool tall ceilings. The two smallish bedrooms are not big enough for an adult to do anything other than sleep. The bathrooms have just been remodeled so they both felt new. If you’re looking for “location only”
this place serves the purpose.
Barbara is wonderful and excellent at communication and problem solving.
