We stayed here for the new year period and while there were some major plus points, we were also a little disappointed by some aspects too.
Plus: great communication from host- very organised and professional. Nice street nearby full of lovely bars and restaurants. Short walk to cable car. 15 min walk to La Rambla (but uphill on the way back!). Very clean.
Minus: very little natural light. Dingey bedroom area and bathroom- like student accommodation. Lots of stairs to climb- narrow staircase and difficult wth bags. Outside of apartment block looks awful- full of graffiti! The noise was unbearable at times and we always sleep easily. You can hear constant TV sounds, conversations and footsteps from other apartments and the noise from the street is also really loud. We needed to restart the internet a few times as we had problems with it.
For what we paid, this accommodation unfortunately did not meet our expectations.
In comparison to other air bnbs I’ve stayed in, a small welcome pack of bottled water/bread/milk etc would have been a nice touch.
