The apartment worked well for my extended family. Myself, husband and two teenagers. My mom. My sister and her two teenage girls. My brother. 9 in total was perfect. Here are some details.
PROS
SIZE. Can sleep a lot of people! Super spacious for our family of 9. Multiple beds in almost every bedroom
Location. Can walk to basically everything within 20 minutes or less. Very central. Corner of Calle de Clavel (if you want to look on a map).
Bathroom for every bedroom.
Large Kitchen
Dining room with 10 chairs, but very narrow chairs.
Gave us all the keys we needed (7 in total).
Key to the main door on the sidewalk and digital code for the door to the apartment, which was nice.
Gave us extra toilet paper and towels when requested.
Dishwasher in the kitchen.
Clothes washer and dryer in the kitchen.
Centrally located, so taxis are always around.
Grocery store 2 minute walk away.
Lots of restaurants and stores nearby.
Close to bus stops and Metro stations.
CONS
A lot of street noise, especially at night. Maybe because we were there at Christmas time?
Don’t check in on Sunday morning if you can help it. Had to wait on the street to be let in.
Two largest rooms (with two queen beds and a single bed each) had frosted glass pocket doors. Not great for privacy.
Three rooms had the bathrooms built right into one wall of the room, which was strange, but worked.
Make sure you close the refrigerator door tightly or it will stay open and food will spoil.
Beds and pillows were not very comfortable.
Two big bedrooms didn’t have working outside blackout shades like the other rooms.
Some showers small and had to step up into them.
Pocket doors to the rooms didn’t work well.
This is not a luxurious space by any means. It is adequate. Worked for my family.
A couple of the bedrooms can feel extremely small/cramped - especially for the number of sleeping spaces in the bedroom.
