Apart-rent Apartamento Francesc Macia 1B

Good
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : The apartment was well-maintained, clean, and ideally located. Considering the price, the value was on point. Parking was conveniently situated near the apartment and sufficiently spacious for a car. The surrounding area boasts delightful restaurants, shops, and the beach is just a short distance away.
  : While the apartment had many advantages, there are a few points to be aware of if you're expecting a typical vacation home experience: Amenities: Don't anticipate finding leftover essentials like coffee, salt, oil, or a welcoming glass of wine. The apartment is more like a blank slate with basic kitchen equipment and some tools for cleaning. Check-in Process: The key collection isn't on-site. Instead, it's a 30-minute drive away at an agency with set working hours and potentially some waiting time. If you've opted for sheets and towels (for an additional fee), they're handed over in a bag, so ensure you've got space in your car. Contractual Formalities: The procedure feels akin to long-term apartment rentals, not short vacation stays. There's a formal agreement to sign, a deposit to make, and you're expected to clean the apartment upon departure, unless you wish to pay extra. Check-out Process: Returning the key involves another trip to the agency's office. This is problematic if you want to depart early. Communication: While the agency isn't unfriendly, there's room for improvement in their English. Sometimes, the tone of their emails can come across as more brusque than they might intend. To sum up, the word "professional" perhaps best describes the experience, rather than "warm" or "welcoming". If you're comfortable with this type of arrangement, the apartment can be a good fit. It's essential, however, to know what you're signing up for.
