Apartment was great. Stairs was murder. The areas they suggest to store your suitcase do not exist. But there are a few around. Just hard to find. They offer early check-in. But there is no such thing you cannot enter the property until exactly 3 o’clock. Otherwise very amazing place. I would recommend it to anyone that can handle stairs

I like the stay overall but had an issue on the last day and the hosts were completely unresponsive mid crisis. Nobody followed up after the fact and nobody answered the “help” number during. Left a bad taste in my mouth

The apartment I arrived at was not the one in the advertising pictures and was totally unacceptable. I tried to call the host but they did not answer their phone. I left without staying and wrote to the host requesting a refund. They refused citing their cancellation policy. I've referred this fraud to my credit card company. I found a nice place elsewhere and other than this incident loved Barcelona.

Excellent location! Walking distance to a lot of great spots and restaurants. A little hard to find at first but easy once you knew where to go. Very small and internet connection was a bit spotty.

Bad air-con, tiny sick and missing items
Although the kitchen and bathroom appear to be recently renovated, the air conditioning unit definitely needs an upgrade. It was noisy, difficult to operate, and struggled to cool the room during the hot month of July. One night, it even dripped water onto the sofa, creating a mess and a lot of noise. The kitchen sink is extremely small and cannot accommodate even the provided plates. Basic kitchen items such as a chopping board and knives were missing, and there was no dish drying rack. Upon checking out, we received an email from the host requesting that we take out the garbage and wash all the dishes. Given the high cost of the rental, this request seemed rude and should be included in the service.

Too expensive for what it was, small apartment with tiny stairs above a hair salon, location was great but window opens to small street with neighboring windows right in front of window, so no privacy. Shower water wasn’t always warm and had little pressure, WIFi didn’t work.

Dirty, and poor comms
When we arrived they gave us the wrong info to get into the apartment, then moved us to another set of apartments with no elevator, we struggled to get our cares up the small spiral stairs There was one towel in the room and the bar of soap had been used. The bedding was dirty and so was the floor WhenI tired to call back they ignored the call until the office was closed and only security answers We booked and paid 2 nights we didn’t stay both

Never again
They messed up our friends stay and ours. When there was repair needed in our friends room, when they didn't respond to and email about the problem (who is checking email as they are riding in the car)they presumed our friends were not coming and cancelled their reservation without bothering to find them another one. As a result we had to give up our room to go to a two bedroom unit (one bath for two ladies? Right) so basically they had a place to stay. It was dirty, there were none of the things travelers need (soap, kleenix, face towels, brush or soap to clean the dishes with) which they of course requested us to clean and take the garbage out..............

the location is the best thing about this hotel/apartment with so many sites bars and restaurants in walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful and the apartment was small but had very cool features. The only complaint is that it states a 5th floor BBQ area that was actually another apartment. Sorry to those people we scared by trying to get in.

Our room was 7 minutes walk from the reception. There is no extra door after the elevator which means the room starts just after you get out the elevator. The room is quite small but comfortable.

If you want to stay in the heart of Barcelona that has lots of great shops, restaurants & activity, then stay here. Not for those who want a quiet atmosphere, though. Also centrally located to most attractions & museums. Loved this location & I would stay here again.

Read all of the reviews (and pay close attention to the BAD ones) on this property. The apartment that you get is NOTHING like the pictures. I am so surprised that Expedia even deals with this property. Our was LOUD, there was mold in the shower, nail holes in the wall, and cracked paint. Not to mention is was TINY. The pictures are completely deceiving. BEWARE before you book. I left after one day of a week-long stay and ended up at the Motel One - lovely, lovely, lovely.

Alright
Property location was great, staff were friendly but room was a lot smaller than picture shows, windows were broken in bathroom and hot water only worked in the morning from the shower, had to have two cold showers. If you can’t walk stairs, STAY AWAY. Small swirly staircase was tiring. But all in all, for the price I would stay again mainly on location and comfort of beds. We didn’t spend much time in the room so maybe that is why I would stay again.

Great location in the midst of the Gothic Quarter. No lifts and very steep winding staircase to reach the rooms which could be problematic with large amounts of luggage or if have low levels of fitness. Booked a double but got a twin room. Pleasant stay in a lovely area.

The room was nice and comfortable but we didn't have a remote for the air conditioner so we couldn't turn it on. When we asked for one they brought us a 2nd TV remote which is not what we needed. We asked again and they stated they didn't have one. Therefore, we had to sleep with the balcony door open and it was on a very busy street.

Decent apartment
Its a decent apartment however the location is great. The apartment is surrounded buy many different shops and restaurants and only a 5 minute walk from La Ramblas. The apartment it self was a little dated and could do with a change in balcony doors and a new bed. This would be a perfect place to stay if you are not to fussed about every little detail in your room and are out and about for most of the day

Apartment style room in Barcelona
This place is more or less a one bedroom studio within the guise of a hotel. You enter at a different side of the building from reception so you don't really see the staff much. For one person it is quite spacious. The bed was comfortable but very noisy for someone who turns over in their sleep a lot. There was an air condition but it didn't look very wholesome so I slept with the windows open. Warning: sleeping with windows open allows people from around other buildings to see inside your room and allows sounds from outside.At this location, there is always activity outside so sleeping with windows open if you need quiet, this is not the place for you. The location was very good though, close to two metro stations, Jaume and Liceu, and a busy street and plaza with numerous cafes, bars, convenience stores, etc. The price was not bad for the short notice either. Housekeeping is not done on a daily basis but rather once a week, if requested I think.
