Overall we loved the apartment in Barcelona - it used space really well and allowed us to have an extremely comfortable spot to land and siesta. Amenities were great including a well stocked kitchen and laundry facility in room that was free.
Highlights:
- Locations was phenomenal, just a few blocks from the Picasso museum with a ton of amazing restaurants and shops near by
- The entire apartment was well furnished and comfortable with a lot of great light including both a private as well as a shared balcony near the elevator
- The building and neighborhood felt safe and included a PED entry to the building for added safety
There were only a few things that stood out that could be improved:
- We needed to be very precise about when we would arrive. The lobby is not staffed 24 hours and when our flight was delayed coming in, the woman that checked us in made a few comments about how we were lucky she was still there
- Directions they provided didn't help us find it. Even when close to the location, locals had no idea where it was and we wound up getting a pedi cab to get us there. Even with his GPS, still took a few circles to find it
- Our apartment was on the top floor and one of the things we discovered is that if the elevator isn't run, it goes into a dormant state that means it "resets" it self. The noise, which is a loud clang, didn't bother me, but did keep my partner up one night. So, may not be the best for light sleepers.
