Joaquin was only available via message as he lives overseas. Iván checked us in and assisted us while we were there. Iván was friendly and helpful. The location in Eixample is amazing in terms of the neighborhood restaurants and proximity to destinations. On the other hand, the rental is missing functionality for a short-term stay. There was no trash can in the bathroom, no hand soap in bathroom, and no laundry soap provided. Additionally, the electric two-burner stove only has a high setting, so no cooking rice or anything that requires a low temperature. There’s a loud restaurant directly underneath the apartment and noisy people living in the flat directly above. The bathroom smells of sewage. The apartment only has a front door and a bathroom door. Everything else is open. The bed is right near the stairs which makes it noisy early in the morning when people are going to work. The washing machine leaks water on the kitchen floor and must be mopped as you wash. The apartment is smaller and darker than it looks in the photos.
