The staff were fantastic, prompt to respond and helpful. The property was immaculate and well appointed. The location was excellent. Security was very good so the property is suitable for people who rank security high on their list.

I am unsure if this is typical of European rental apartments so I am sorry if I don't have an understanding of the usual items in a rental apartment. We bought washing up liquid for dishes and clothes which I think is a waste given that we only used a little. It would be more sensible to have been provided by the apartment.

The hosts were in regular (but not too regular) correspondence before we arrived, ensuring we knew how to register ourselves with the authorities, how to pay tourist tax, etc., if we needed any help / transfers, and how to enter the air conditioned property. They were excellent, even though it was clearly a small team, they were all equally polite, helpful, and we never had to explain ourselves more than once: they were able to help with advice in a very clear and responsive way. They were not intrusive at all. We thought that having the cooling pool was a 'nice to have' fun gimmick but not mandatory - how wrong we were, we used it and the roof terrace every day in the 34 degree heat. The appartment was well laid out, clean, well decorated and furnished and quiet - yet just three minutes from Las Ramblas - perfect for our stay of two adults and four young teenagers.

Honestly, there is nothing we did not like. We could suggest only two very minor improvements: a few more hooks in the bedrooms would be nice and whilst dishwasher and laundry tables were left, which was great, a small pack of salt/pepper, milk, cooking oil, might not go amiss.

The accommodation was very spacious and handy having two toilets, perfect as well with the amount of cutlery that was available for all 8 guests. Perfect short walk to the metro and right next to a super market. Additionally it was gated access and felt very safe and secure.

The pool was a bit smaller than it looks in photos but it was perfect to dunk into to cure a hangover.

Location in Bari Gotic was ideal for seeing the harbor, aquarium, maritime museum, and the old city. The metro was nearby. Pastry shops, restaurants, and a grocery store were near. The kitchen made it easy to have breakfast and dinner in the apartment when we were tired from sightseeing.

The view is to an alley and nearby apartment building. Nothing can be done about that. Just sleep and shower in the apartment, then enjoy Barcelona.

Location and apartment set up/ sleeping capacity Apartment was clean :)

Office/bell desk for luggage hold location is not onsite (if you get in earlier than check in or want to spend day out and about upon check out). This was a significant inconvenience that we could have planned for had it been known. Elevator was very small.

We enjoyed the location of the apartment. It was clean and as pictured on Booking. The client service (by WhatsApp or Booking) was impeccable: they answered quickly and always tried to help us.

We were disappointed by the high level of humidity, the non soundproof walls (we heard the neighbors) and the loss of electricity (for a few seconds) while we were cooking.

The locatin was perfect. Easy walk to most sites. It was quiet, which I feel was likely because it was on the outskirts of the Gothic Quarter. Very clean with comfortable beds. Having 3 bathrooms was perfect for our party. Having the kitchen was great. Would definately stay here again.

Very clean apartment, every detail well thought off, super responsive staff (quick to respond and super friendly), great location. I’ve always received a response within minutes from staff after my inquiries. We felt very safe in this property. Great cleaning service. It was very convenient that washer & dryer were available for everyone to use ( free, but it’s shared by all & not always available). It was very quiet during our stay, no noise.

Space in the elevator (max 3people) and hall is very narrow. please keep in mind that they don’t provide replacement of dish detergent, toilet paper and sponge mid-way through the stay. In fact, the sponge/ dish detergent which were supplied to us at the beginning of our stay were thrown away by cleaning personnel. It’s just one extra thing for you to think about during your vacation. ongoing construction on the building (although we did not hear noise from construction).

The apartment is lovely and centrally located between the Gothic quarter and the waterfront.

There is a bit of street/construction noise.

Location for the Gothic Quarter was magnificent, La Rambla and the seafront were a few minutes away. Camp Neu, Segrada Familia and Park Guell were a taxi ride. We did walk to the start of the cable car for Castle Montjuic. I wouldn't recommend it. It was hot, and a lot of stairs.

Not that the hosts could do anything about it, but the position of the apartment meant it didn't get any direct sunlight, so was a little dark at times. On the plus side though, we weren't sat in an oven!
