The listing was true to form. The hosts reached out before the visit to check in and provide good feedback, which proved useful to us since it was our first visit to Spain. They were also very accommodating. Thank you!
That being said, the apartment is indeed in need of refurbishment/ redecorating as a previous reviewer had mentioned. There is a moisture issue with the bathroom wall, blown bulbs in the lounge, joint cracks in the wall near the front door and noisy plumbing lines in the apartment itself. The building itself is very unassuming but it is in a convenient location, especially for Park Guell. All appliances work.
With the property, you get what you pay for, and the hosts takes a basic listing up a notch by providing good support. Based on that, I will not hesitate to stay in another one of their other properties, if the opportunity arose.
