    It was larger than expected which made it even more comfortable, we enjoyed eating dinner in the courtyard and having 2 bathrooms made it easy for everyone.

    Unclear that the flat was behind a fire door, which we couldn't work out for about ten minutes. No water in the fridge on arrival, which given the brutal weather would have been nice. The air conditioner control in the bedroom at the front was broken, so while it worked, I couldn't turn it off, so I was quite cold all night. Given we only stayed one night it was okay, but any more and I would have had to contact the host. Needed blankets for unexpected chills, but could find none.

    The flat is super luxurious and massive. We had a large patio and kitchen. The beds and showers were very good quality and new. It was quiet and very clean. Easy to get around Barcelona and find shops and clubs from here. 15 mins walk from Sants. Would stay again. Not sure why the negative reviews. This place is great.

    While the property itself was nice, there were aspects of the booking and check-in process that made the experience less enjoyable than expected. Firstly, after making the booking, we were required to complete an extensive questionnaire asking for detailed personal information for every guest (we were a group of 8). This included private data, relationship to the host, and actual signatures from everyone. Filling out such forms during vacation was time-consuming and felt unnecessarily intrusive. The process could be greatly simplified, as many of the questions seemed irrelevant. Additionally, after confirming the booking, we were informed that we needed to pay an additional €300 deposit to receive the check-in information. This unexpected requirement was stressful, and while we did get the deposit back at the end of the stay, the terms left me on edge throughout the trip. I was constantly worried that if we missed minor things—like not taking the trash out or not washing the dishes—we might not get the money back. The deposit amount felt excessive and contributed to a sense of discomfort during the stay. Simplifying the paperwork process and reducing the deposit amount (or outlining clearer, more lenient conditions for it) would greatly improve the overall guest experience.

    Great looking, cozy, spacious apartment. Was glad to have a self-checking option :)

    The message on kitchen wall with a threat of a fine if we didn't wash dishes or take rubbish out on checkout - a polite request would be more appropriate as most decent people do it anyway. Long process of payment through a different site and adding all our details (address, passport numbers) - even children's. I've only had to show adults' IDs before.

    Perfect location! Short walking distance to a big railway station, the underground, and lots of small shops and cafes just outside the door. Very good contact with the host. It was hot in the flat on our first day, and we couldn't set up air condition - 1 message to the reception number and it was all sorted soon. We liked the no key option too - a bit stressful and hard to understand at first, but it worked smoothly afterwards. Lovely view from the balcony - but these rooms are not for light sleepers, you can hear literally everything from outside at night. The back rooms were all good and quiet.

    Nice stay and location despite being noisy and pricey. Obnoxious registration and payment process.

    Stay was pretty noisy for what was one of our most expensive stays on a two month trip through Portugal and Spain. The biggest drawback was the tedious process of online registration and payment through a non-booking.com site. Perhaps this would not be so bad if this was our only stay, but it was one of many on an extensive trip, and was as aggravating as all the other registrations combined (over 20).

    Convenient location and nice rooms with generous space. It is an easy walk from the train station through a park. There is an abundance of shops and restaurants nearby - great lunch at Brassas Beer, nice breakfast and great coffee at 365 Cafe.

    Laborious confirmation process with threat of cancellation if we didn't manage to confirm. Took about 6 or more emails, it was quite stressful, especially at this busy time of year. Dangerous kettle - the lead was too short to reach the plug so the kettle dangled from the plug socket. We put it on an upturned basket when it was in use but this is not a safe solution, it could easily have slipped and poured boiling water on anyone standing next to it.

    Exceptionally clean. Nice patio area. Very spacious. Location good for rail travellers.

    Whilst the Check-in process was very friendly, quick and easy, the check-out process was abit rocky but as I had another 6 people staying with me things can happen. Xanna the customer service lady was very friendly and informative, she gave us permission to extend our check-out untill 13hr, which WE were all greatfull for as we went to bed between 6:30 - 7am as we organized an event. By the time we checked out and were having lunch across the street I recieved a message with video from Xanna saying that house keeping found a sheet with some blood on it and it will have to be sent out to wash and will charge it from my 300 euros deposit. Luckily I was with my team and once I mentioned it one of them mentioned that it must be hers as her menstruation came earlier than expected. I didnt respond to Xanna imediately as we were just ordering our meals and would agree to pay for the cleaning. Then a minute later another message from Xanna saying that house keeping claims that we were smoking in the apartment. At that point whilst waiting for our food and asking if anyone smoked in the apartment, which everyone denied, I never saw anyone smoked inside, I called her imediately. Xanna answered and explained that house keeping claims that not only cigarettes but marijuana was smoked because of the smell. I explained that I never saw anyone smoked inside and one of my collegues who's a non smoker just mentioned that she found some cigarette butts on the floor when she opened her windows and threw them in the bin. No one smoked marijuana as we were all working and obviously not in a hotel or touristic apartment. When speaking to Xanna and she mentioned the sheets, I said yes, Im willing to pay for them as my collegues said that it was an accident but I never saw anyone smoked from the evening when we checked in to when we came back from the évent as we went straight to bed from around 6:30am untill 12hrs.

    We stayed there as it was close to Pueblo Espanol, where we were doing an event. We only checked in for around 90 mins where we changed our clothes, ordered pizzas for dinner then headed out to our location to work untill around 6:30am. What I likes about the apartment were that the rooms were spacious and clean, the decor was simple, well insulated and that their was enough Space for all 7 of us. The location was also great as it was not too far from where we were working and besides being very close to many shops etc, thé street WE stayed on was very quiet and call with no loud noises on thé street.

    Small and very basic leaving room. There are a few apartments ( I think three), each one is a little different. Ours was the two bedrooms on the ground floor.

    Two large bedrooms with bath in each one. Good kitchen (even we did not used it) Nice close yard only for this apartment. Very good location close to main street but very quite. See the different images for each one

    Washing machines were broken on rooftop, so we had to use local laundry service.

    We stayed there last year so we knew what to expect and familiar with the location, main street was closed off to traffic during Saturday and Sunday, I'm not sure if it applys to every weekend though.
