  : Location is amazing. Absolutely remarkable building and well decorated apartment.
  : Beautiful and cold for guests. Looks like staying in the museum, not welcoming. Everything clean and perfect. not a single bottle of water, or coffee, or tea for guests. One big closet for two bedrooms, no additional shelves, or hangers, no place to put a suit cases, no tall mirrors on empty walls.

  : Location good. Apartment large and impressive. Loved entrance and the quirky lift. A beautiful apartment and a Great opportunity to step inside such a beautiful building.
  : En-suite bathroom a little dark. A few lightbulbs needed to be replaced. Kitchen could be stocked with a few more standard items, extra tea towel, extra knife, chopping board. We loved the apartment.

  : Great location in the heart of the city. The decor was very cool and the historic building was lovely.
  : No coffee. For the price a few coffee pods would be great. Every other ABB we stayed in Spain had at least a few pods or coffee for the first morning. It would make a big difference with the sense of hospitality especially given the premium price you pay.

  : I thought the property was stunning very clean and a great location.
  : There was a lot of noise from the people above us. I think it would have been nice for the host to provide a small welcome basket tea, coffee, sugar, milk, water its a nice touch. When arriving at property we were informed we had to pay more for tax and cleaning I would have liked to have been made aware of this at time of booking. We were only given one main door key to the entrance downstairs which restricted us as we could not go out alone always together, we were told that another key would be cut and dropped of to us but this did not happen.

  : The apartment and the building it is situated in is beautiful, with wonderful features and ornate decor. The bathroom/ shower is incredibly grand and a joy to experience. The bed was large and comfortable, and the blackout curtains did a good job of keeping out the light at siesta time!Location-wise, the property is perfect for what we wanted. Slightly outside of the busy tourist areas of Old Town / La Rambla etc, but around 15-20mins walk to the main areas of Barcelona. There are lots of great restaurants/ shops / coffee cafes in the surrounding area too!The host (Alex) is polite and explained everything we needed to know, as well as giving some restaurant recommendations to get us off to a great start.
  : Be aware that on arrival you will be asked to pay the city tax (expected), but also a 250 deposit (NOT expected). We were told this would take up 2 weeks to be returned if no issues were found. However, we were not given the opportunity to inspect for existing damage (a door handle was missing, and a chair had scuffed a wall, for example) - I am slightly uneasy that we could be blamed for the this, and lose the deposit.Secondly, for a property of this price / grandeur, it was missing a few minor 'luxuries' which require minimum effort, but add to the experience.For instance, there is a Nespresso coffee maker...but no coffee pods. There is a filter coffee maker...but no coffee or filters. Basics touches you come to expect from a high-end accommodation like sugar / bottled water / cooking oils etc simply weren't there (not even a kitchen towel to dry your plates / cups etc after washing). As another example, The apartment is fitted with an expensive sound system, with speakers integrated into the ceiling....but it only works from CDs, or a very specific cable. Again, a minor point, but a simple Bluetooth receiver to allow music over breakfast etc would give the sense of luxury you'd expect from a property at this price point.

  : The apartment is beautiful, particularly the stained glass vestibule/enclosed balcony. The kitchen includes a washing machine. The bathrooms are generous. The bed in the main living area is very comfortable. The sitting areas are lovely.
  : A person came into our apartment without our knowledge while we were resting. This person started running when he spotted us for some reason. My husband saw him running out of the apartment and ran after him, thinking he must be a thief. It turns out he was the maintenance person, but we didnt know this at the time. This created a bit of a panic all around. People make mistakes and while we were shaken, nobody was hurt. I wouldnt mention it but the event was poorly addressed by management. We were just told we dont need to worry about it. The doors need a deadbolt or lock on the inside.

  : The location was great
  : The kitchen wasnt big enough.All the television programs were in Spanish - no English speaking - not even news. Even my Netflix had subtitles!

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The location was great, directly in the city center and all sites are easily accessible
  : The apartment was extremely dirty! The floors were not swept, there was dust everywhere. Additionally, some things were broken, e.g. the door knob in one of the bathrooms. The owner said he would fix it, but didnt. The bedding was horrible. For this price, it is not understandable to me why normal bedding cannot be provided. The blanket was just lying between two sheets, it was not a real cover. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable, artificial material and dusty. Way too overpriced and absolutely not worth it for the price. Just because the apartment is in the city center, doesnt mean it doesnt need any care. The apartment is way overdue for a renovation.
