I hate to be "that" person, but I do feel the reviews swayed me to book this place and I was SO upset that I did. Now I feel obliged to warn others. I would not recommend this place at all unfortunately and here's why:
If this is your first time in Barcelona, do not stay in this area for sure. Look for something in the Las Ramblas area. This was my second time in beautiful Barcelona and I have to say this place really ruined the experience for me. Taxis were very hard to find here and there isn't much in walking distance for tourists (there is the park).
This was my second time in Barcelona. We visited in August, really at the peak of summer and it was quite hot. This apartment has ONE AC to cool off the whole place. And it did a very bad job at it. We ended up dragging the mattresses from the bedrooms and sleeping on the floor of the living room from how hot it was (The mattress although small is comfortable). The wifi router's placement was so bad that you basically do not get signal in the living room or the bedroom. Hanging out in the kitchen all day for signal is no fun.
Besides that, the host made zero effort to add the details that count. We had one used toilet paper roll left. the toilet scrubber was filthy it was disgusting to use. And the floors were very dusty.
Sorry, but for this price tag, you're better off getting a serviced apartment in Las Ramblas (which is easy to find).
Keep looking is my advice.
