Do more research & check out the rooms before you make the booking. The owner charges the same price for 2 different apartments but they are different in room sizes. The owner did not put 2 different photographs in the booking websites & it is misleading. My husband booked this apartment because he saw the room is big with full height gothic glass windows & bath tub. In fact they advertised for 2 units of apartment with the same photographs of the big unit. However upon our arrival, we were led to a smaller apartment. We felt cheated but too late to do anything as we had paid for it. It is an apartment so do not expect daily housekeeping or room cleaning services. They provide only towels, toilet papers, 2 very small bottles of shower gel & shampoo & some basic kitchen amenities like dishwashing detergent, forks, spoons, washing sponge & disposable garbage bags throughout your stay regardless how long. As we stayed for 6 days, hence we had to buy our own shower & shampoo bottles to replenish. We also bought our own bottled drinking water. The housekeeping will only start after you check out. Please beware of the check in timing which is strictly 12 noon & check out time is 11am. There is no reception as it is an apartment building. So we waited for the agent to come at 12 noon to pass us the door access keys & cards. The housekeeper was cleaning the room & we only could occupy it after 3pm. Imagine you have few luggage & arrived in Barcelona at early morning & cannot check in, this can be an issue. As we had a trade fair to visit hence we left our luggage inside the apartment while the housekeeper continued to clean the place. Fortunately there is a lift as we had 3 luggage but is mechanical. We need to open the lift doors & close them before it can operate. The lighting was dim & hardly see things clearly, I felt dusty personally maybe due to the furniture & displays. The door handles are not functioning well also. There are no usb points. Luckily we brought all our international adapters & usb chargers. The pillows were provided were foamy type & not feathers so at least we did have a better sleep. The only good point of this place is the location which is walking distance to the shopping areas & luxury brands. There are many eating places like bakeries, cafes & restaurants nearby so we were not worried about food. There are also 24 hours supermarkets nearby. It is a walkable place so we can walk beside metro & taxi. Taking taxi at this place is also very convenient. Metro is within 7-10 mins walking distance. It is a quiet area & it is quite safe neighborhood. If we have known of a second smaller unit & no daily housekeeping, we would have chosen a decent hotel instead of this apartment.
