Once we finally gained entrance (very time consuming and taxing) and were not captive in the apartment, all was fine. Accommodation was very spacious, albeit utilitarian, but all was okay.

Rented this apartment for a few days in May 2023. The apartment is in an awesome location for the various sites in Barcelona. The Picasso Museum, La Sagrada Familia, Aquarium, La Boqueria are all within walking distance. The apartment is quite large as well. However, after we first arrived the reality set in.
1. The heating and air conditioning doesn’t work. The time we were there the outside temperature at night was in the 50’s so the apartment got into the low 60’s at night. There are no extra blankets in any of the rooms, so we were unable to stay warm in order to get any sleep.
2. The shower in the master bathroom has a leak in the floor near the toilet that causes water to leak all over the bathroom floor from taking a shower making it unusable.
3. The bathroom in the center hallway smells of sewer gas coming in through the laundry area that ends up permeating throughout all the bathrooms in apartment as well as the central hallway. This makes this bathroom also unusable. It also gave my wife and son a headache because of the smell in the apartment.
4. The apartment upstairs from this unit has a family that is extremely LOUD!!!!! There was a soccer tournament going on during our stay so every night we had the pleasure of hearing their TV blasting at full volume a baby crying, kids running around, and the husband and wife arguing with each other until 3am.
5. There are no holders for the toilet paper in the bathrooms so you have to leave the rolls on the floor.

Great location in the center of all the major sights & museums. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood and a wonderful coffee shop at our doorstep. The only problem was the air conditioning….it was a bit warm in the apartment and did not cool down even at night. If that gets fixed, then we highly recommend this apartment!

The place is huge, lot's of beds and in a great location. It's right at the top of the Gothic Quarter and 2 minute walk from the Metro. 5 minutes from Cortes Ingles for a great grocery store. 10 Minute walk from Placa Catalunya where the Aerobus drops off/picks up for airport transfer.
The building is nice and clean, the apartment is nice and clean. It is quite large for a European flat. Quite impressive. The view from the living room is of a courtyard but gets great light. We don't actually spend much time hanging out in the apt so the view didn't bother us. The courtyard is kind of interesting to look at (other apartments and patios, etc).
A few complaints:
The apartment uses a virtual key. They said we "were required" to have internet to get in everyday. Thus, we had to pay for the internet everyday of our stay. There are 3 showers and bathrooms which is tremendous. However, 1 was so stinky we avoided it altogether. The other 2 showerheads had broken wall hangers and were difficult to use. They both leaked badly onto the floor. We notified the Manager and they quickly sent someone to look at them and said they were going to fix them. They were very responsive. Another small complaint, the wood floor boards were poorly installed and would slide around causing you to catch yourself a bit. May not bother everyone. We had noisy neighbors above us but that will be by chance.
Overall a great place but I would check on some of the issues before booking.

We stayed for no more than 45 mintues, left and never returned. Stayed in a hotel instead. The apartment was dingy, smelled and nothing like the listing or staged photos (5-star reviews???) It is floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall made of cheap materials (flooring, baseboards, walls, doors, cabinets, fixtures, appliances, etc.) which are stained, scuffed, cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged, is furnished with old furniture (not all of the same depicted in the listing) and not properly maintained. The manager offered to send a cleaning crew, but the issues go well beyond a superficial cleaning; virtually everything needs to be repainted, repaired, replaced &/or updated. There appeared to be mold in the laundry room, but I don’t know if that was the source of the smell. The manager offered air fresheners; but tthe source of the smell needs to be fixed, not covered up (and inhaling air fresheners on top of whatever causes the smell for 5 days is nauseating). Opening the windows to let in fresh air (and sunlight) is not an option. The windows are covered with curtains &/or frosted for a reason. Every view is of a dirty exterior wall or the balconies of what appears to be tenement housing; all just feet away. Prime example is the living area (opening picture of the listing) The reality is a small, dark room (for a living area) with drawn (& broken) curtains to hide a small concrete courtyard with neighbors able to look right into the apartment. Those curtains would have to remain closed if nothing more than for the safety of my wife & daughter. Few other things not depicted in the listing: this apartment is very choppy; if the square footage is accurate, it is wasted by the layout and doesn’t feel that big at all. The door opens to a small entry way with no furniture other than a 2/3-foot console pushed up against the wall. This room leads to the dark living room and a hallway to the remaining rooms. What appears to be the master bedroom is straight ahead and to the right is a long narrow hallway with the small, dated kitchen, a hallway bath, and two very small bedrooms on the right. On the left are frosted-over windows and another small bedroom. All beds are about a foot off the ground and without the pictured bedding. The place looks more like barracks or dorm rooms. VRBO won’t let me leave personal info in a review, but I. Give permission to the host to give anyone interested in this place my email and I will send you photos.

Very spacious apartment in a very central and useful location. Property manager responded very quickly to any queries.

First, the biggest benefit was the property manager. Really easy communication and flexibility, which was great. Neighborhood is great and really close to everything, 1-5 minute walk to L and major bus routes, lots of great restaurants and cafes. The unit is a good size and layout, great value for the amount of rooms/bathrooms.
