First the good—amazing location to walk to most major attractions (1.5 miles or under) plus you don’t even need to go that far, the neighborhood itself has great restaurants, culture and shops on every corner every street. University metro stop is two blocks away, Aldi for groceries is across the street and Carrer de Consell de Cent, a mostly car-free street that’s easy to walk and filled with life, is just one block over.
In addition, communication with the hosts was responsive and friendly, the keys are digital and accessed through an app and the building has a locked outside door that adds a layer of security.
There were a few cons with the apartment itself and in fairness to the perceived comfort level of the pics vs experience I’ll mention them. The pics show a rug in the living room, extra blankets on the beds and comfortable mesh chairs for the outside patio. Those things were not a part of our experience. Also the curtain rods over the French doors to the front small balcones need new hardware, the support brackets are loose and fall out of the wall if you want to open the curtains and doors. When we arrived the place smelled musty and we discovered a not small amount of mold in the larger shower, not a huge problem since we found some bleach and cleaned it, and the rest of the place was comfortably clean.
