  : Great location. Walkable to Las Ramblas & Sagrada Familia. Lots of cafes, restaurants & convenience shops. Near the park for running. Safe neighbourhood. Check in process was smooth & the extra keycard option is a great idea. Cupboard in bathroom was useful for toiletries. Staff tried their best to be helpful when we highlighted issues.
  : Photos arent a good representation of the actual size. In general, everything was smaller & more cramped than expected.Tiny elevator (accessed by a few steps) and tiny staircase (though spacious once you have come down from either Tower at Sagrada Familia).Washing machine didnt rinse well (the staff offered to send someone to check but we didnt accept as we would be out). So a manual rinse cycle had to be run after every load. No clothes drying rack provided (not everyone likes to use a dryer).Dishwasher rack was rusty & needed to be replaced (the staff offered to send over a replacement but again we declined as its not our role to act as their property manager). No cupboards or storage or hanging space in the master bedroom. Not even a hook on the wall. The only place for clothes is in the 2nd bedroom.Top bunk in 2nd bedroom had a safety rail that is lower than the mattress. Safety issue as the occupant could fall off in their sleep. Again, we highlighted this to staff.Bathroom (of which theres only one despite 2 bathrooms being shown in the photos) lacks space to hang towels for more than 1 person. We had to hang towels over the dining table chairs. The 2 levels in the bathroom were also poorly designed & a safety issue with no hand rail available. Shower cubicle very tiny & no place for toiletries in the cubicle.Aircon worked well but there was a filter cleaning message on the display and a musty smell when it was turned off.Television only has local channels & most of those were not accessible due to poor signal.Honestly it felt like we were doing the work of the property manager by staying there & giving them a list of all the things that needed fixing or improving. Most of these could have been remedied with a simple inspection between bookings so that future guests arent inconvenienced and can actually enjoy the amenities which they have paid for.

  : Very beautiful Spanish style house with tall ceilings, great location and comfortable beds.
  : The drain in one is the showers was clogged so water drained very slowly. The other shower was a bit old. Both could be improved but still not bad

  : Location. Not too touristy but close enough to major tourist attractions.

  : It is a fantastic little apartment within walking distance of all the sights and shopping strips. The apartment is clean and quiet with plenty of space for a family of 4 adults. Situated on a beautiful street, the apartment sits above some great cafes and we were spoiled for choice on where to get our morning coffee and croissants. The beds are all comfy and the pillows were actually firm which was a bonus after 26 hours of travelling to get there. There are 4 or 5 supermarkets within a 5-minute walk. Public transport is close by but we hardly used it as it was easy to walk to all the major sights. The washing machine door wouldn't close so I sent an email to the host - within 2 hours it was fixed!
  : No complaints to mention.
