Underwhelming three-star

Solid 3-star rental. The "Vela" suite (one of many in bldg by same owner)--is NOT "luxury". PROS: - Good location near main attractions, high-end shopping, good restaurants/bakeries - soundproofed street noise - Clean CONS - Spacious for old bldg but in dire need of overhaul. Per other reviews, it's not like photos/desc. Furniture is ragged, amenities are mismatched & chipped flea-market quality. - Much is broken. Closets/doors don't close, things fall off wall, plaster flakes off ceiling, paint is chipped, torn curtains don't close, pillows/mattresses are worn & lumpy, bed linens are old & shabby. First-world problems yes--but they're charging top dollar for a "luxury" listing. - Only ONE SHOWER, despite advertising two. 2nd bathroom only has a tub with handheld wand. - Frugal owners provided as few essentials as possible, of lowest quality. As other reviews say, you're rationed 2 measly pods for dishwasher and washing machine, scant rolls of TP, all is meagre, cheap, watered-down. Def not the Bulgari pictured! When things run out (quickly), you must buy your own. Some rentals do operate this way, but not pricey "luxury" ones. There's an air of stinginess/disregard--almost contempt for renter. - Physical essentials are lacking. Nowhere to put shampoo/cond besides floor, nowhere to hang towels to dry (unless it's cold enough for the towel heater to kick in -- but it was too warm a season for us). Rickety standalone closets have weird rods to hang clothes. They pull

Fabulous location!

Great decor and fabulous location! What we loved most was the glassed-in lounge/sunroom for morning coffee and an afternoon glass of wine. The flat is only one block from Casa Batlló, loads of shopping, and so many great restaurants! Will definitely stay here again!

Girls trip

Apartment was in an amazing location close to restaurants, shopping and the supermarket. Communication with the property manager was easy. She also supplied us with restaurant recommendations. The second bathroom is more of a bathtub. The shower is a little bit awkward, but not a reason to not rent this apartment. The apartment was super clean and we truly enjoyed our stay in Barcelona!

Great Location

The property is in a perfect location for enjoying Barcelona. There is plenty of space within the apartment and the outdoor balcony was a nice place to see the pace of the city. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were incredibly soundproof. The air conditioning was excellent. You should know that there is one bathroom with a shower only and the other bathroom has a soaking tub with no shower, although there is a handheld wand, the management was very quick to respond to problems that we had. My only complaint would be that there was lack of supplies for the apartment. There was no soap for the bathrooms, and there was only a very small amount of dish cleaning soap. There was only one pod given for the washing machine . There were a few coffee pods for the coffee machine, but no other items such as sugar, etc. There were some minimal kitchen supplies such as salt and a little bit of cooking oil but again very limited. We were at this apartment for more than 10 days and had to buy those supplies. The apartment is very convenient and close to many small markets and restaurants. The El Corte Inglés department store is about four or five blocks away and has an excellent American style supermarket in the lower level. There is also a fresh fruit and vegetable market approximately four blocks from the apartment heading down Valencia. Heike, the manager, was very helpful and responsive with any problems that we had. Would stay here again.
