Very Good

  : Good location, served our needs well. The wee square along the road was very authentic. Lots of nice bars, restaurants and delis
  : Stairs were a killer but they all are, absolute vengaparty house downstairs. Didnt bother us much but I can imagine it would bother others.

  : The location was central; we were able to walk down Passeig de Gracia and found a real good Tapas restaurant 20 minutes walking from the flat, Ciudad Condal. We also took a touristic bus and walked from the flat and back to the flat when we were done; no need to rent a car or take a cab. The flat was comfortable, equipped with what we needed.
  : There was no light in the stairs when we would arrived around 9 or 10 pm. (we used our cell phones light). The streets and building looked very nice but it was noisy at night. We had difficulty falling asleep both nights. Too many parties and loud people in the top floor and main floor next door. The shower doors were not that great either.

Traveller Type:
  : I liked the property very aesthetic . Its suitable for us the space. The view from the small terrace is good. The property has all the equipments we need. And the host we met there is good.
  : Noise of other guest. Maybe the property should have rules by 10 or 11 in the evening about the noise. And another one thing just for the improvement .property should have a free coffee or tea atleast. Because i stayed in many different apartment it always had a free coffee or tea.

  : It was unfortunate that the only thing we looked forward to was our departure. It was a disaster from the start. However, without the rain, we would not be aware or none the wiser about the potential safety hazard in the living area. When we checked in, there was rain coming through the light fixture in the ceiling and through the ceiling also. The table underneath the ceiling and light were all wet as too was the floor. Alex the property manager met us at the property for check in. Once we pointed out the leaks, he acted as though he did not know about this issue. To remedy this, he grabbed some bowls from underneath the kitchen sink and the rubbish bin and placed it at the bottom of the leak to catch the water. Because our flight had been delayed and we were exhausted, just thankful to finally arrive at the property and out of the rain, we paid for the "security deposit" despite the obvious safety and danger hazard. He said that he will talk to the property owner and ask them for a discount because of the leaks, however he needed the security deposit payment and tourist tax. We paid this in good faith that the leaks would be remedied and we could get a discount. Once the rain stopped, so too did the leaking from the light and ceiling. This is where is became evident that the leaking we had experienced was not a once off event, but an unresolved structural problem that put myself and my family at danger and risk of being seriously hurt if the ceiling collapsed on us. I can assure, if any builder saw the damage to this ceiling, they would agree that it is only time when it will collapse. I dare anyone who checks into the property, get a broom and tap the sunken and dampen ceiling, that the plaster would ceiling would fall down and collapse. If I did not pay my "security" deposit, I would have done it to prove my point of how hazardous and dangerous this place and its owners are. Alex and the owners know of this problem but lied (cont'd)
  : (cont'd) We failed to see this at check-in because we were wet, exhausted and tired and we had to deal with the water coming through the light and ceiling. It would not be the first time it was addressed as it is clearly evident that water is leaking through the whole surface and light fixtures. We had 3 toilet rolls for 7 people for 3 days. It is unbelievable that you are made to BEG for this very standard requirement. Shower was clogged. Unregulated water temperature. No sugar, tea. Place is too small for 6 adults and 1 child (especially when the shower is clogged and no toilet paper). AND I had to access roaming from my mobile phone provider as the WIFI didnt work either to top it all off. The last night I feared the ceiling would collapse as I slept on the sofa bed in the lounge area. We couldn't even use the dining table comfortably out of fear the ceiling would collapse on us. The property manager is a liar. He said he would come to fix it, never did. The shower, said he would fix it, never did. Ask for toilet paper, he gives us a couple. Ask for the next day, no reply. Radio silence. Do not waste your money. These people do not care about the guests that check into this property. No care or regard for their guests wellbeing. For your own safety and of your loved ones, play it safe and stay elsewhere!! >> I have photos, how can i upload photos!!?
