Barcelona: room with comfort and shared areas Gran Vía-Madrid

Overall, these accommodations work very well for solo travelers. The location is excellent. The flat and the rooms are very welcoming and have had a lot of extra thought and detail that went into making them nice as well as functional. Having an in room ironing board and a personal mini fridge was better than the nicer hotels I previously stayed at Only a few negative things worth mentioning. First, the check in process was not as easy as it should’ve been, mostly with getting in the street level door. When they buzz you in, make sure you’re ready to PUSH the door on the right. The moment goes quickly. I also had an issue with the smart lock that’s used for the next door that goes into the first floor flat, but I think that one was a fluke. Lastly, it wasn’t clear that you physically have to run your finger down the bedroom door handle to bring up the key pad and because it doesn’t always work on the first or second try, it makes you feel like you’re not doing it right until you get used to it. Finally, when leaving the street level door, it wasn’t obvious that you can turn the odd handle and don’t need the key to get out, though that was user error For what it’s worth, the host did well in assisting with the trouble we had on checkin Otherwise, I did have some messy flatmates, but outside of them everyone was great and respectful. I appreciate everything they provide in the kitchen area Overall I would recommend this rental to friends and would stay here again
