We arrived to the Barcelona airport at 11:00am - earlier than 2pm check in -and Fiona was very kind in having a friend of hers let us into the apartment and leave our bags until it was cleaned and ready for us at 2:00. We returned after 3 and all was set. It was unfortunate that the cleaning service left in haste and forgot to sweep and mop the floors and take the wet mop and rags that were left in the closet. It was a very unpleasant smell. I contacted Fiona and she was kind enough to refund us the fee for cleaning.

The building has an elevator that takes you right outside your door. It broke the night before we left and I had to drag two large suitcases one at a time down 4 flights of marble steps at 6:30am. I was afraid that I may have woke the residents up.

I thank Fiona and Phil for their communication prior and during our stay and their concern for our satisfaction.

The apartment is on the 4th level and faces a very busy and noisy street. A great place if you are a night owl but not if you intend on going to bed before 4am.
