This apartment/experience was disappointing. The apartment sleeps 8. There are two traveling groups of this size: families (we sleep 6), and groups of friends/strangers. This flat is not set up for families (especially with children); it is most appropriate for large groups of people who will split the cost and who plan to spend minimal time in the flat (presumably to party outside). The apartment is very small and spartan. Photos are out of date. 4 bedrooms in a row, with 3 small bathrooms lined up in a row across a narrow hallway. BRs smaller than airport transit hotels. Noise easily transmits across coated glass BR "walls". When we were there, one BR was un-usable due to electrical problems; another had a broken toilet seat. Microwave worked intermittently. Washer was not accessible until day 2 after request was placed to "unlock" its cabinet. There is no living room/reading chair. No place to relax or unwind. Unfinished doors. Old furniture. No character/style. Towels stained. Minimal amenities (no soap bars, liquid soap containers in BRs empty, no toilet paper dispensers, no coffee/salt etc, etc). We ended up buying these and leaving for next guest. Wine in fridge with listing of "15 euros if used". Need to keep windows closed at night. Need to draw curtains (neighbors within 10 feet of all windows); giving a gloomy appearance. Listing of apartment "rules" posted on walls (doesn't contribute to a homey feeling). On up side: new A/C, hot water heater, plumbing, elevator. Location (Barrio Gotico) actually a minus (at least for families): trash piled on street outside apartment, sex-toy shop and bars right outside flat, intoxicated revelers, hallways with extensively peeling plaster/trash/roaches/inappropriate symbols. We routinely rent flats across Europe. This was the most disappointing. Cost about $2000 for 96 hours (and then had to pay another $120 dollars at check in for "cleaning"????). I am sorry to give a bad review, but when I spoke with the landlady expressing my disappointment (she never appeared, only spoke via telephone through a number for another country), all she kept saying was "everything is as on the web page", and "this is Barcelona". So I have tried to list on this web page "everything about this flat in our experience in Barcelona". I would think this apartment most appropriate for groups who will split costs and want to spend minimal time in the flat and are looking to be in heart of Gothic quarter.
