Pros:
-The best thing this apartment has going for it is its terrace. The views of the city are magnificent.
-The neighborhood is also very lovely—quiet and has everything you need (groceries, pharmacies, cafes, etc.)
-It’s about an 8 min walk from two different stops on the metro and walking distance to the Sagrada Familia.
-It was nice having a washing machine with a big drying rack.
Cons:
-The AC is located in the living room but there isn’t an additional one in the bedroom. While it works well to cool off the living room, the cool air doesn’t reach the bedroom. We visited in July and the bedroom was uncomfortably hot. We did reach out to the host and he brought us a fan, but it wasn’t enough to make it comfortable. If you are visiting during a cooler month, I’m sure this wouldn’t be an issue.
-The bed is very hard. If you prefer firm beds, then maybe this would be great for you!
-The floors were a bit dirty when we arrived—I ended up sweeping a bunch. That wasn’t fun.
Also, be aware that the bathroom doesn’t come stocked with much. The hand soap was almost empty and there were only a couple rolls of toilet paper. No shower stuff included, which isn’t expected for a rental apartment; just make sure you come prepared!
