Location super nice , very clean and big enough

We were informed we could enter the apartment at 15hrs. Because we landed early afternoon we already walked around a bit. The appartment was ready at 17:00. When you only have 4days in Barca you want to unpack asap and enjoy the city. Not waiting . Also we had to leave the the appartment at 11:00 at Sunday . But cleaning was knocking at the door at 09:45. For this price I really want to enjoy from 15:00 to 11:00 .

Air con in every room worked very well, balcony, washing machine and stand up dryer, the two bathrooms were handy when you have a teenager who likes to spend a long time getting ready (we stayed in flat 4 on the second floor). There are shops at the bottom of the road just around the corner where you can get your necessities from. The first one just a few blocks away overcharged us on the first day so we didn't go there again but there's plenty more as you turn the corner. The flat is a few minutes walk away from La Rambla. We also found a lovely restaurant on the way called Sabanna with great food and service. If you go to the main road from the flat and turn left, you will come to a square with some restaurants and cafes. Also 5 minutes walk from there we found this amazing Chinese restaurant called Little Foodie that served authentic food and had great friendly service. We didn't need to pick up the keys from a different address which would've been a bit of a pain. They changed to a new system where you receive an electronic key once you download the app and register your phone number. You will have to reset this daily (I believe for security).

Nothing major, just a couple of little things. The TV was left with German subtitles and we tried but couldn't change it to English. We would have liked to be able to use the coffee machine but couldn't find coffee pods in the neighbourhood shops and didn't know where to get them from. Maybe the host could put together a simple information folder and leave out for guests (lots of places we've been to have them). The host is very responsive when you ask something but we didn't want to keep bothering them.

very smart spacious apartment and very well located.

check in was over bearing and key pick up procedure was painful as it was a 10 minute taxi ride from the property and added 30 minutes and 30 Euro to the journey. Also had to pay 200 Euro deposit. No of this was in the booking details.

The apartment was clean, modern and well-equipped. I liked the location as it was fairly central to most of the places I wanted to visit. It was a quiet location and there were some nice cafes nearby. Also handy for food shopping. Staff were very helpful.

I did not like the app that you have to use to get into the apartment. It was very stressful because initially it did not work when I tried to enter my phone number to activate the app. The staff were helpful and eventually I got it to work. And in fact it worked fine during my stay. There was also the worry though that it wouldn't work and I wouldn't be able to get in.

A fabulous apartment in a superb location in the older, historic part of Barcelona. A really lovely apartment on the top floor in an area surrounded by little shops, bars and restaurants. Very quaint, clean and the area felt safe. The apartment was well equipped and had good amenities and everything we needed. Perfect for 2 people but would have been a bit squashed for 3 or 4.

It is a bit of a mission getting in to start with as you have to download an app for the electronic keycard, initiate it and then use it to open both the front door and your apartment door. It took us a while to fathom it all out, and then each day the electronic key would de-initialize off our phones and we would need to reset it with another code etc. It wasn't a major but was slightly irritating when we got home and couldn't get back in until we'd reconfigured it through the app again. The lift is very small so only takes one person and one small bag at a time. You can't fit 2 people in with bags as well. Also, just be aware that the bed is VERY hard!

The apartment was pleasant and clean. They even provided a welcome pack full of dish wash tablets, bin bag ,sponge and a wipe cloth. I enjoyed taking a shower and the air-conditioning . You can stay in and cook or eat out, there's a lot of bar and restaurants nearby. Close to everything and we had a good night sleep. We felt safe inside the property and there is CCTV camera on each floor. Thanks Ola living. Will definitely recommend

The staff at the reception was a bit sarcastic when I called to ask if can get the keys 1 hour early since we arrived a little early at the property. And since its an electronic key was via phone app, you can't run out of charge or you can't get in. There is no staff at the property.

Right from the start my experience with Ola Living MACBA team was impressive, I arrived very early and they checked on the situation of my apartment that was being cleaned. Allowed me to leave my luggage in there office an said they would phone me as soon as it was ready , which they did well before the earliest check in time . The lay out of the property worked well with a nice little balcony to watch life . The Decore fitted well with the furniture,giving a good balance of contentment and functionality The heating in the rooms worked fast and easy to use making it very cosy , which leads me onto the lighting. The layers of lighting that can be applied to the rooms catered for every occasion. The washing machine and coffee machine,iron and board , toaster electric hob , pans , dishwasher, etc oven added too a feeling of cooking new recipes with produce sourced from the Mercat de la Boqueria. This stopped me dining out as much ,as the ambience in the apartment was exquisite, really what a great feeling.

I had to leave !! No seriously I asked for a key as in a plastic card like you have in hotels . Purely because I’m not the best at keeping my phone charged to use the other system! Which I never tried so can’t compare However the card worked a treat and nothing that I can find at fault with and I am particular being a cabinet maker, yes there are more plush and boutique apartments but for the price and balance of feelings it gives I think this ticks more boxes… hate that expression!

Our flight was delayed and we arrived later than expected. We had to wait for well over an hour for someone to bring us the key. And although I understand it was inconvenient for them, the communication wasn't great.

Central location and decent sized property which was clean.

The beds were quite uncomfortable and then balcony was small.

Spacious facilities for 2 people, complete amenities as posted, near to shops and restaurants. Nearest Metro is around 10 min walk away. Uses digital key so everything is very convenient. Hosts reply fast and communicate well!

A bit pricey, may not be for budget travellers. There are also so many pre-check in checks, but I understand it is for the properties' security.
