This apartment is beautiful and just as pictured. Accommodations were extremely clean. Location is great, just across the street from Placa Catalunya, the metro and bus lines, and management was very responsive and very nice. Two big drawbacks: as some other reviewers mentioned, there is a bad sewer smell. I do think it is a city problem as we smelled it all over the neighborhood, however, especially the second floor in this apartment smelled badly. Second issue is the immediate neighbors who share a wall with this apartment’s bedrooms. They seem to be local residents and they party and play loud music all night. Out of a week’s stay, only two nights weren’t badly disrupted by very loud music and large numbers of partners in the apartment and out on the balcony. Management was very responsive and very nice about this, but they don’t manage that apartment so there is really nothing they can do, per their replies to me. And 20 something partiers don’t seem to care that they’ve been asked to be quiet by the neighbor three times by 2am (and the partying did go to 2, even 3am one night). This is an unfortunate circumstance because the apartment, minus the smell, was really great.
