Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Honest review — good to know before bookingThe apartment itself is acceptable, but there are several important things to consider before booking.The bathrooms are extremely small — uncomfortably so. The internet connection is very weak; we were unable to hold video calls, which was a real issue for remote work.The location is the biggest concern. The street is noisy, and the neighborhood feels unsafe and dirty. Uber access is a serious problem — drivers never came directly to the street, and we had to walk significant distances and wait 20 to 30 minutes for each ride. With ongoing construction nearby, getting around the area became even more difficult in every sense.Overall, the stay was manageable, but we’d recommend being fully aware of these limitations before deciding — especially if you rely on good internet or easy transportation.

Hello Renata, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the apartment itself, the layout, bathroom dimensions and general features are accurately reflected in the listing photos and description published before booking, allowing guests to review the accommodation characteristics in advance. Concerning the neighbourhood, MACBA is a very central and lively area of Barcelona, which naturally comes with typical city activity, traffic and urban noise, especially during daytime hours. At the same time, it is also one of the city’s most visited cultural areas. Regarding transportation access, temporary external construction works in the surrounding streets may occasionally affect vehicle circulation or pickup logistics. Unfortunately, these are municipal/public works completely outside of our control. We also appreciate your comments regarding the internet connection and will review this internally with our technical providers to ensure the service is functioning correctly. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Sara Guest Service Manager

Very small older property with mold and rust in shower corners. El Raval is considered the ghetto of Barcelona and this is on the outer edges of it. The washer/dryer doesn’t dry. As you look down the street you will see laundry hanging everywhere. Toilets had problems flushing. My ATT iPhone had horrible reception in the alley and I was not able to enter the property via phone app (required). Thankfully my friend had an Android Verizon that had better reception. If you the management co. you get put on hold for about 5 min and we were outside in the rain trying to get in. Also cabs are not allowed to drive in the alley and we had 5 bags to drag out to the nearest street. We stayed 6 nights and tried to cancel the moment we arrived but were told we would lose entire amount. We ran into 3 other groups staying in the building who experienced similar problems. The elevator is so small it’s difficult to fit a large bag and a person so one of us walked up 30 steps to receive the luggage as the other person placed luggage in the elevator and sent it up. It took 3 trips in a very slow elevator. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable and the smaller bed is tiny. The TV w cable service was nice. It seems the entire apt. Bldg is owned and operated by a management company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the apartment did not meet your personal expectations. We would like to clarify that the property, its location and building characteristics are accurately represented in the listing. The apartment is located in the historic centre of Barcelona, an area known for its pedestrian streets, traditional architecture and unique building layouts. During your stay, you expressed that the apartment and neighbourhood were not what you expected and requested to cancel the reservation. While we understand that personal preferences vary, dissatisfaction with the location, building style or apartment layout does not constitute a defect in the accommodation itself. The apartment was occupied for the full duration of the reservation and our team remained available throughout the stay to assist with any concerns reported. When operational issues were brought to our attention, including questions regarding the washer-dryer, our team responded and arranged assistance accordingly. We are proud that many guests appreciate the apartment’s central location, comfort and character, and we remain committed to providing support whenever needed. We appreciate all feedback, but we believe it is important for future travellers to understand that many of the concerns raised relate to personal expectations rather than deficiencies in the accommodation provided. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Sara Guest Service Manager
