Perfect location for exploring Barcelona

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Barcelona! The location was perfect—close to major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself was well-equipped and comfortable, providing a great home base for our trip.However, one of the bedrooms had a noticeable smoke smell, which was a bit disappointing. While the rest of the apartment was clean and fresh, the odor in that room lingered throughout our stay. If you’re sensitive to smoke, this might be something to consider.Overall, we still had a great experience and would recommend this place for its excellent location and amenities

The apartment is very spacious, we stayed for a week on a last floor apartment, beautiful view from the small balcony. We are a family of 4, two parents and 2kids, one bedroom had a double bed the other one has 2 twins, we never felt crowded. It is modern, pleasantly decorated, the bathrooms and the kitchen well equipped. There is enough space in the living room/kitchen for eating and hanging out after a busy day of visiting Barcelona. The beds are comfortable, plenty of towels and extra linen if you need. The air conditioner is central, no noise at all. The house has an echo which also causes to occasionally hear the neighbors but nothing bothersome. The location is perfect, in the proximity of lots of touristic spots but removed from the noisy area of Las Ramblas. There is a small convenience stores right at the entrance, has everything needed for a minimalistic breakfast and there is a cargo or supermarket at the corner of the streets, on block away. The check in was very convenient, we filled in in the online forms and downloaded the app for unlocking the door prior to arrival. At around 3pm the day of our arrival the app became active and it worked perfectly throughout the week. We arrived early morning on a Sunday, we left our luggage at their reception that is on a different location but close by. The communication with the hosts was great via what’s up, very responsive. We stayed in many apartments in different places in Europe, this one was one of our favorites,

Family with teens in madrid

Traveling with teens can sometimes be a tight fit. Everyone needs their space yet you still want to be together. Ola did just that. Plenty of room where you didn’t feel on top of each other, but close enough to still be connected. The location was perfect from us and allowed us ample opportunity to view all that Madrid has to offer.

Great location - comfier chairs needed

4 friends shared for a 5 day trip. We stayed in 3rd floor Music 7 apartment - two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Check in process 48 hours before was complicated - but do-able. Lift and corridors all clean. Doors operated by a smartphone app - we all got that - but also 2 key cards. Location excellent - yes a bit of late night noise but not too bad. One bathroom had a broken shower sadly. We knew before we arrived. Was fixed while we were there. Communication with Reception team via WhatsApp easy. We got a small discount for the shower problem. The living area is small but functional. It really needs two comfy armchairs in addition to the sofa. Nespresso pod coffee machine - only a few pods free but a large Carrefour at the end of the street opposite the Palau theatre so could buy more. Only two loo rolls also - which is a bit stingy. Small supermarket right opposite and a nice small champagne bar very near. Would also recommend Flax and Kale restaurant just up the street. Delicious healthy salad and pizzas. Also Tosca Tapas opposite the theatre for upmarket tapas. We had a great time.

Perfect location, clean, and comfortable.

Property was in such a great location with walkable access to sights, shops, and charm of gothic quarter. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were updated, clean and had great water pressure. I did not hear street noise from the bedrooms. Location felt safe even in the later hours. Check in process was somewhat of a hassle but well worth it.

wonderful location with a few issues

We enjoyed our 4-day stay here, and found the location to be perfect for exploring Barcelona. It is located on a very charming street in a great neighborhood so that was a big plus. The check-in process could have been smoother. We were asked for our arrival time, I shared that, and yet I still had to try to reach out to confirm that we would be able to get into the apartment when we arrived. The digital key was a bit cumbersome, but worked. I had to ask permission for my husband to get a digital key too, in case my phone died - which seemed like a no-brainer. The apartment was nice and suited most of our needs, though the kitchen only had the very basics - it was missing some key things. Also - the apartment should have included basic instructions for the appliances. We had to message many times about how to use the air conditioning, the washing machine, etc. That was a bit frustrating. All in all, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely things that could have been improved.

Great location. Horrible check in process.

The property was great. Rented through vrbo. From this point things get difficult. You are really booking through a 3rd party leasing company. I kept messaging through Vrbo when trying to pay. There was SO much confusion. The 3rd party takes your payments with a different system. And to check in is a system is different from one they sent me. So we still did not complete booking till we showed up and they said we did not finish with deposit. The ladies at the leasing office were very nice. But everyone checking in had the same confusion as we did. I really expected to book and deal with Vrbo, but that’s not the case. Be prepared for a refundable deposit but with a list of rules and cleaning instructions to get it back.

Perfect Barcelona vacation

This property is perfect for a Barcelona vacation. The location is excellent, on a small street in the Gothic Quarter with cute shops, easy walk to everything. 5 minutes to La Rambla. The prior reviews are accurate when mentioning the check-in app. You need to register each guest with their name/passport info/selfie so it’s best to do that before but it was VERY easy to follow. And, the walls are thin and you will hear the stairwell. Otherwise you hear the street so it is rarely quiet in European cities! The management was very responsible. We had an issue with the washing machine, they came in and fixed it while we were exploring and left extra towels. Very well done!

Great place in Barcelona

We had an overall good experience at this property! There were several restaurants in walking distance and a little grocery store right across the street plus a larger grocery store around the corner. The elevator was really helpful since we were on the 4th floor. And the keyless entry was easy to use. We arrived after normal check-in hours so it was nice to have the keyless entry without having to go to another location or pay for a late check-in. The property manager/staff were very helpful in communicating the necessary steps to complete the check-in and deposit electronically before arrival. The apartment itself was as expected from the listing!

Great location and comfortable apartment

We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere from our apartment. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and well-provisioned. The two issues we had were the difficulty using the digital key and the lingering smell. After some trouble at first, we got used to the digital entry. When we arrived there was a strong smell of sewer gas but fortunately it dissipated after a few days. Still, I recommend the apartment if you would like to stay in a fantastic, walkable neighborhood.

Family time in Barcelona

We love the apartment, and having a terrace was great. The location was great, too, right in Gothic District. I appreciated the extra towels and bedding. Check-in was confusing, I received an email to pick up keys, but when I arrived at the office, I was told I could use the digital key. I was under the impression the digital key only worked for the front door. Last, the walls are thin, you can hear everything, but it is great for families.

Good location but poor amenities overall

Our family of three stayed in Ola living music 3. Location wise it’s a great place and very convenient. However apartment itself is rather small than what we expected seeing from online. Street and house noise from upstairs is as terrible as you can expect. Also there weren’t enough household essentials in the apartment considering we had to stay for one week. A few toilet papers, small size shampoo and body wash, little bottle of dishwashing detergent…there weren’t even enough toilet papers so we had to request extra. I have been to many apartments using VRBO and never had to ask for essential things like this time. It was a week of stay and this was not a cheap apartment. I feel this apartment overly charged us compared to the poor quality they’ve provided to us. Also the female desk staff who was working at the nearest Ola living office by the Ola living Music 3 was rude. When I tried to enter the office by the wrong side of the door, she laughed as if she was making fun of me and was rude when assisting me with my questions. Also this company wanted to conduct air conditioning check during our stay. I understand things happen but never have I experienced inconvenience like this with other apartments. I certainly feel that our first trip to Barcelona would have turned out so much better if we had chosen another place to stay. Well I’ve learned from my mistake. If you don’t mind paying for expensive apartment who provides poor service and lack of essentials then you can choose Ola living. Otherwise absolutely no. Save yourself a headache and go with another company and apartment

Great location

The apartment is is a great location. The size of the apartment is much smaller than you might think by the pictures. Four people in the apartment is a bit tight in the common area. We used our phone as a means to enter the building and apartment. You have the option of picking up keys at the office which is about a mile away or using an app on your phone. We decided to use the app but can be tricky if you are from out of the country and are using another cellphone service. We had a few problems but managed to get into the building after a few tries. Other guests had more difficulty. Bottomline, we enjoyed our stay, location is great, Barcelona is fantastic!

Best Location in Barcelona

Great property. And, I highly recommend. A few challenges to note - electronic door app clunky - figured it out after a phone call to the office. - actual flat number was confusing - figured it out after a call to the office - my USA credit card companies hated their processing system. My card was declined multiple times. - the entire buding lost electricity for 8 hours on the last night. Pluses besides location, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, washer and living space. Balcony was great too.

Comfortable apartment in great location

Comfortable and well appointed apartment.in a great location. We had a wonderful time in Barcelona with this as our home base and would happily stay here again. Excellent and responsive communications with the property managers and no surprises. As noted by others there is a washer for your laundry but no dryer. Plan ahead for time to air dry. The rental office is about a mile away, so plan for that. In our case, we stored our luggage at a nearby locker and explored Barcelona for the day, ending up at the rental office in the afternoon. Overall we had a wonderful visit to beautiful and vibrant city.
