At first, I was a bit upset because they charged a late check-in fee, which I hadn’t noticed when booking. However, when I arrived late at night, I realized it actually made sense — someone has to stay up and wait for you, which takes time and effort, so I understood.
The location is absolutely perfect — everything is nearby! You have stores like Zara, a market, even a McDonald’s and a Sabadell bank right around the corner in case you need cash for the fee or city tax. The place is super comfortable, and the hosts reply instantly and keep the entire building spotless, even the shared bathrooms.
Keep in mind that it’s on a main avenue, kind of like staying in New York, so of course there’s some street noise — but they provide earplugs, and once you use them, you don’t hear a thing. Honestly, it’s perfect. I first booked for two nights, but ended up extending my stay for nine more because I loved it so much.
Out of all the places I’ve stayed in Barcelona, this one has been the best — great location, comfort, and value for money.
