Barcelona break

Apartment was in an excellent location and perfect for our needs. Little noisy at times but that was only one night. Very close to transport links and within walking distance of Sagrada Família. Apartment had everything you need incl dishwasher, washing machine and oven. Overall we had an excellent time.

Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy

spartanisch, laut, unkomfortabel, veraltet und lieblos

Um etwas Positives zu berichten - die Lage der Wohnung inmitten des Stadtteils Eixample ist gut. Aber - die bei Fewo gezeigten Bilder der Wohnung sind sehr alt, geschätzt mehr als 20 Jahre her - Bewertungen stammen auch aus früheren Jahren - die Wohnung ist lieblos eingerichtet und nur mit dem absolut notwendigsten versehen (4 Tassen, Teller usw.) Den Geschirrspüler hier mal voll zu bekommen, ist schwierig - Das Bad mit Toilette und Duschkabine umfasst knapp 4 m". Das Waschbecken, das man sieht, ist das einzige, das dort ist -die Türen und Leisten zeigen oft abgeschlagene Stellen - die traumhaft abgebildete Terrasse befindet nicht bei der Wohnung sondern ist über den Aufzug oberhalb der 4. Etage zu finden und darf nur von morgens Uhr bis spätestens abends 20 Uhr betreten werden. Selten so viel Kabel und Kühlaggregate, Antennen usw. auf einem Haufen gesehen. Keine Sonnenschirme, nur ein paar Tische mit Billigstühlen ohne Auflagen. Also, abends die Sonne auf der Terrasse mit einem Wein oder Sangria genießen ist nicht möglich. - Die Wohnung ist extrem hellhörig. Morgens wird man schon frühzeitig durch die arbeitendes Bevölkerung oder Handwerker in den Wohnungen geweckt. Nichts für Leute, die gerne mal länger als 7 Uhr schlafen mögen. - Diese Wohnung ist kein Rückzugsort auf den man sich nach einem Stadtrundgang freut !!! - Ach ja, noch positiv der Service vom Vermieter - das Büro ist um die Ecke, man kann vor dem Abflug seine Koffer dort unterstellen.

Classic appartement Eixample

Very nice spacious appartment in the center of Barcelona. Easy to reach by metro, shops for groceries etc nearby. We were only a bit disappointed by second room with the 2 seperate beds; they were not that comfotable and next to the elevator .The walls are quite thin so you can hear yourneighbours. But the fact that you are in the city center next to all the great things to visit is a big PLUS!

Lovely rooftop deck with view

Owners were good about storing our luggage until the apartment was ready. There are a few steps to access the elevator but, fortunately, a building resident kindly helped with our luggage. The apartment was bright and comfortable. Nothing fancy but more than adequate. The beds were comfortable. We did have an issue with heat so the only really warm room was the glass inclosed dining area which the sum warmed. The front bedroom was also quite noisy as you could easily hear every noise in the stairway. Bring earplugs! The area was very convenient with shops and restaurants and a quick walk to the Sagrata Familia, which is also visible from the rooftop deck.

Great location but...

The location, property manager, wifi, modern lighting and communications with owner and manager were great. We are walkers and were able to walk to almost every major destination within 15-30 minutes! The apartment and furnishings met a "basic" standard level - nothing that we considered essential was missing. But the physical comfort level of the sitting room furnishings and double bed were poor. For travelers like us, who are very active sightseers and who actively enjoy all the city has to offer, it is important to have a very comfortable apartment to retreat to at the end of the day. In this respect, the apartment is poor. We thought the photos of the apartment were a little misleading as to condition of furnishings. The actual sitting room was quite small and the bedrooms were small - very little room between the beds and the walls; the double bed was a bit like summer camp: very hard and not fastened on the springs, so it moved around every time we moved. The furnishings in the sitting room were inadequate - one large saggy, clammy couch and a stiff rattan chair. No side tables. The bathroom was old and not updated and the cabin door was moldy and the shower was inoperable when we first arrived. (Excellent property manager remedied that by the next day.)The TV cable system was only in Spanish; no other channels available. Would we rent this again? No. Should have chosen another Eixample location in same price range.

Beautiful apartment in good location

My husband, two sons and I had a great stay in this apartment. Full kitchen, great roof terrace, lots of shops and restaurants right out the door, lovely dining area. Washer/dryer was great (though confusing for this American, I had to google instructions-would be good to have more than just the wash function sheet there!). Great place to stay in Barcelona.

Amazing location and very large apartment with everything you need for a great stay in Barcelona!

We stayed 7 nights at the Classic apartment Dreta de l’Eixample . The location is great as many restaurants and stores close by as well as the metro stations. We shared the apartment 5 nights with our son and had plenty of room especially enjoying together the sunny enclosed balcony and lovely roof top terrace. The location is also a short walk to the Sengrada Familía and the Plaza Catalunya. The Negre apartment were very kind and provided a quick response with any questions. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment furnishings were spectacular. Hope to came back again to this same location for a future visit.

Charming welcoming comfortable convenient.

This apartment was exactly what you dream about for a visit in Barcelona. It was like having your very own home away from home. The location was central to many many major areas to visit. Just blocks from Sagrada Familia. The roof top was so nice to sit and have wine after a long day at the beach. The apartment was furnished with everything you need. I hope to visit again. Thank you Eduardo for being there if we needed anything. Thank you and Lauren & Fernando for letting us share your lovely home.

Great location, but ................

I hate to write negative reviews, so I will start on a positive note: great location. Walking distance to all important places, museums and restaurants. The apartment was nice, with old charm. Now to a bad news: when we arrived air conditioning was out. And it was out all 10 days. We were provided fans in each room, which helped a little. Someone came by to "fix" it, and we were told it was fixed, but it was not. That was a huge bummer. We stayed end of July beginning of August, the hottest time. Next: no Wi-Fi. The only place we could get a little connection was right next to the front door. Just imagine 4 of us standing next to the front door trying to get a connection with our loved ones. Next: the washer did not work. We could not wash our dirty clothing. The good thing was we also traveled to Seville and we brought all out dirty laundry with us. One more thing that I want to mention just incase you decide to stay at this apartment. Shower was impossible to use because it would only provide cold or hot water, nothing in between. We did complain to the owner and got a small refund for our trouble.

Expectd more 😕

We arrived and only to find out there was no air conditioning, although they left fans it was to hot to sleep .it would have been nice had they informed us about theses things instead I had to keep trying to contact them , I understand these things happen , but I'm the one who had to get upset and ask for compensation & if they could please move us to another apartment seeing as they have many in this building , after 2 nights of our 4 night stay they offered us another apartment with air and compensation for the inconvenience, in grateful for that . Then , another big issue there supposed to Internet and none of them work it was almost impossible to send a message, this left us disappointed, seeing as my husband had to work a bit online we had to find a place where he could connect his computer and this cost us money and time out of one of our days . The upside is that it's nice the apartments roomy good location, beds not very comfortable but clean , I would recommend this place but beware no internet, and in the hot months make sure you have air conditioning!!!!!!!

A charming property that maintains many original features including tiling, doors and windows.

We spent 5 comfortable nights at this property. It was everything that was advertised. Clean and bright and conveniently located 4 blocks from the metro. Walking distance to many attractions including the Sagrada Familia, Cash Mila and Cash Batllo. Local restaurants offer a variety of options and price points. The washer/dryer works best on the rapid cycle for efficiency with respects to time required to complete the job. The dryer can get quite hot so do pay attention to the settings you select. Take time to view the exterior of the building and note the windows and balconies. We walked on Passeig Sant Joan past the Verdaguer station a few blocks and found an area where local street markets are held on Saturday. A great find! Downside: as noted in a previous review the dining room chairs require re-appolstering and there was "construction" work being done in the building that brought noise that we could have done without. We never did meet the greeter who would have given us an orientation to the neighbourhood which is always helpful. Would we stay there again? Yes, for sure!

The property is old and tired and in need of some work.

The apartment has many charming architectural details as seen in the photos but they are misleading. The kitchen is updated and is the nicest room. However the coffee maker was missing the coffee basket and as said before the washer/dryer combo was complicated. We gave up trying to use the dryer. The bathroom is very small and the shower needed attention. The bedroom was fine. The dinning room chairs as said are a joke as your bottom goes through the seat. I didn't mind the neighborhood. It is full of families living there lives with children playing, dogs barking and music playing none of which was ever terrible. The wi-fi seldom worked. The roof top terrace was nice for a view of the neighborhood. I wouldn't recommend this apartment.

Disappointed

We are mystified by all the wonderful reviews of this apartment. It is not what it seems and we were really disappointed. We ended up spending as much time OUTSIDE the apartment as we could because we really hated being there. We arrived in the evening and immediately began calling local hotels to see if they had any availability, because we wanted OUT. Unfortunately, it being peak season and we are a family of four, there was nothing left. First of all, it's on a really dark scary looking block. From the moment you enter the lobby you realize the place is the pits. Dirty, not kept up, and we did not feel safe. Then the apartment - ugh. Dumpy. Depressing. The beddings are not what is shown in the photos (ours were old and really sad looking) and under the coffee table in the living room is a hideous red shag rug (not what is shown in the photos) of uncertain cleanliness. We'd looked forward to the sunny breakfast nook. Sunny, yes. But your view is the back side of some very sad looking apartments that are in various states of disrepair. And the chairs there absolutely sink when you sit in them. Felt like I'd fallen into a hole. The wifi was unreliable - kept cutting out. Then we used the bathroom. There is mold on the shower door. Water leaked everywhere. Not from the shower itself, but from a pipe in the wall leading to the shower, so water was actually coming from the wall, near the floor and toilet, when the shower was on! Then the air conditioning went out. This is actually where the one bright spot shows up - Eduardo, the maintenance guy, once he actually came (it took all day because he initially went to the wrong apartment for this service call). He explained that when there is high demand, the system will crash, and ours is the one apartment that ends up without AC. Really? Maybe someone could put that in a note somewhere with instructions on how to reset the system, which is what Eduardo did. Meantime, he was very apologetic and brought us extra fans and clean towels. He really was fabulous. This seemed like a bargain and I guess you get what you pay for. The really sad part is this place has potential - the tile floors would be beautiful if they were scrubbed clean. The ceilings have some really beautiful old details that were covered up with cheap Ikea lighting. The sofa and area rug should be replaced and the bathroom should be gutted and completely redone. Take our advice and find a different place to stay!
