  : Great location. Easy access when we arrived. Victor was extremely helpful and prompt
  : Overpriced and a bit dingy and rough. Poor instructions for washer and dryer for English guests. Lack of toilet paper.

  : Location is within walking distance of important sights and in a top, safe area. Clean and had everything we needed for our 4 nights. I was travelling with my elderly mother on a short holiday. All daily amenities and super restaurants downstairs. Taxi stand too.
  : The bed in the 2nd bedroom needs a little fixing. Would have loved to have received a simple welcome card with some important tourist information and a city map.

  : Location is excellent for the ones who dont want to be bang in the middle of touristy area but still within walking distance to town centre. Theres V15 bus going down to Barceloneta beach from the next block. The apartment itself is sufficient for 3 people, has a balcony and is surrounded by a good choice of bars and restaurants. Lots of kitchen equipment and even a tiny dishwasher! Big supermarket literally opposite the property.
  : Although you are probably not going to spend much time indoors while in Barcelona, the size of the apartment is a bit cramped for 3 people, including the bathroom. Or that might be just my personal opinion. Also, they have coffee machine but no pods provided. At check-in, the keys were not in the box by 3pm as advertised as the cleaners were running late. But on the day of check-out, we had a knock on the door 10:40am (check-out at 11) from the housekeeper. There are few luggage lockers in the building but not suitable for large suitcases.

  : We spent 2 nights in this little apartment in Barcelona. As in most large European cities, you can't really expect large apartments given the price of the property and the popularity of those places. We got an apartment which was on 3rd floor and it was what the Spanish call: 'interior' which means it doesn't have the windows on the street but onto the backyard. This actually was an advantage as it was really quiet at night. Also the location is perfect. It's in the centre but also not in the most touristic centre which gives you more of a local feel with restaurants and bars full of Barcelona residents rather than just tourists. It was really nice for the hosts to let us check in a bit earlier than 3 pm as the flat was already cleaned up. It is also very useful that there are lockers in the hall where you can store your luggage when your plane is late in the day and you need to check out till 11.00 Finally, there is a terrace at the top floor which can compensate a bit for the lack of views in our flat.
  : The only real downside of this apartment are beds. They are really narrow and the one in a small bedroom is more like a convertible bed which can (and did) fold down and you land on the floor. And I don't mean when you jump on it or do any other activities :-) So beds are definitely the downside and of course the size of the flat itself but that could have been expected.

  : - getting/leaving the key was super easy - there are lockers to store your suitcase - close to metro station - very clean - very quiet even though in the middle of Gracia - lots of bars, restaurants and coffee shops around
  : - ventilation in bathroom didn't work - there was no dish soap or sponge in the kitchen on arrival, somebody put it in our room while we were out after our first night, but had already bought our dish soap etc. - we stayed 7 nights, but they do not come to clean once - there was not enough toilet paper for a 7 night stay - on our last day we were woken up at 9 am by house keeping trying to come inside to clean already
