Charming & Convenient Apartment Near Plaza Espanya

The location, the neighborhood.

The bar downstairs, some noisy neighbors and the uncomfortable mattresses

E’ una casa curata nell’ arredamento con tutto quello di cui c’è bisogno per cucinare. Sono presenti anche saponi e quanto necessario per lavatrice e lavastoviglie. Bella la vista sul mercato

The apartment was spacious and comfortable for 4 people. The kitchen was fully equipped and there were shampoo/bath shower also in the bathroom. It was conveniently located right next to Merkat Sants, very close to Metro station and near Placa de Espanya (15-20 mins on foot). There were plenty of places to eat and drink around, as well as super markets, groceries and bakeries. The neighbourhood felt safe and alive! I liked the fact that there was a dishwasher and a washing machine, helpful for a 1-week trip. Air conditioning working properly and additional electrical heating machines were peovided in each room (although we didn't need them). Power plugs everywhere! The hosts were friendly and helpful.

The apartment was not horoughly cleaned. There were hairs in some corners and the bathroom was a bit dirty. We had to clean it ourselves again. Although there was dish soap, no sponge was provided neither a kitchen towel.. it would be nice to have those two in an equipped kitchen. Also, some spoons ans forks needed to be washed over. The mattress in the big room was thin and the bed was extremely creaky. It was quite annoying the fact that we could hear every noise fro other apartments nearby as well as the noise from the bar downstairs. Windows need to be changed, too thin and single. I general, the apartment is old and there are spots that need to be updated (e.g. the bathroom hangers, the bath-tap).

Находится вроде бы недалеко от вокзала и площади Испания, но везде надо подъезжать на такси или метро. В квартире чисто и просторная. Но сам дом старый, с ужасной звукоизоляцией - с 5 утра до 23 вечера слышно, как все в доме моются и жарят еду. Курить запрещено, но всю ночь соседи курили траву)) Посуда для готовки еды есть, а сахара и специй нет. Есть кофеварка, но кофе не было.

Хозяин предупредил, что багаж оставить нельзя ни до, ни после чекаута. Это нам обошлось дополнительно в 10 евро на такси и 20 евро за lockerbox возле Площади Испания. Плюс лишние 45 минут времени. Пожалела, что не сняли отель. Берут депозит 300 евро на случай порчи- это напрягает.
