The Good: walking distance to the beach walking distance to ramblas, shopping, many restaurants bikes and scooters for rent nearby (best way to get around) nice tv A/C friendly, responsive staff they use pump shampoo rather than tiny plastic bottles, environmentally friendly spacious apartment many amenities
The not so good: -noisy at night (bring earplugs) -keys are outdated and don’t work well. Instead of a typical card you have to use a keychain of keys, and they are fussy and clunky. We kept getting cuts and bleeding from metal in the doorway -very slippery floors and shower, easy to fall -someone threw up in the building lobby on one of the nights and it was poorly cleaned up, so the small lingered for our entire stay and made the lobby and the elevators smell very bad
Acceptable: *small clothes washing machine does not dry clothes well, so everything There is a lot of humidity, so nothing would dry in the apartment and was still wet and smelled like mold after a few days. It is not allowed to dry clothing out the open windows. The unit broke and filled our bathroom and bedroom with water, we had to clean up the mess ourselves with towels as it was after hours, but they did send a technician to fix the unit the same night and bring extra towels, which we REALLY appreciated and thought was good customer service
