Newly Barcelona Gran Via

I like the location. Easy access to any transportation and to the city. Bus stop just accross the building.

The kettle and toaster was rusty. Didn't use them. We can't boil a hot water for coffee and tea.

It’s a very nice apartment

The apartment was clean and the air conditioning with 30C+ degree weather outside was very much appreciated. Located on one of the main streets of Barcelona, it was easy to find. It was spacious enough for 3 people with two fairly sized bedrooms and a sofa in the living room. We really only spent our evenings/nights in the apartment.

The location was in the city but far enough that a public transportation pass was needed to go sight seeing. We were quite disappointed by the location of the lock box. Usually, in our past travels, the lock box was nearby. In this case the lock box for the key to the apartment was quite far, we needed to take two buses to get the keys and come back to the apartment which wasn't comfortable figuring out how to purchase tickets while also carrying luggage. Fortunately, we didn't have to go back to the lock box to leave the keys after our stay. Communication with the host was also a little confusing, I received messages from multiple numbers on whatsapp and also emails for the tourist tax. It was hard to know whom to write back to regarding any questions. Also, after making sure with the host that early check in was possible prior to our arrival, on the day of our arrival we received a message with instructions on how to check in after 3pm. After making sure again that we could check in early (before 3pm) i was referred to as "son of problems" which I didn't appreciate. In the end we went to check for the key in the lock box and it was there, apartment was clean. After this I was hesitant to contact the host with any other requests like additional toilet paper in the flat after the two rolls we had been left with for 3 people for 5 days ran out.
