Barcelona Apartment Val

Location great, friendly check-in process

Very nice apartment in a great part of town, close to shops and restaurants. Check in was at Claris Hotel across the street(since there’s no front desk at the apartments) however no details were sent prior to check-in. The apartment was well equipped, clean with great bedding. We were a bit unhappy with the management, we had contacted them 48 hrs prior to our arrival, asking them to cancel our first night stay since were unable to get to Barcelona due to the France train strikes. The supervisor was not very sympathetic or accommodating and ultimately hung up on us. Not very profession!

Pros: The location is perfect, everything you need is a few steps away: restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores all within one block. Paseo de Gracia is a couple of blocks away. The apartment was very comfortable. Good beds, pillows. Quiet. Good selection of local tv channels/cable. Hotel Staff was extremely helpful and nice. Cons: The clothes dryer did not work (but they did offer to dry the clothes at the hotel, since it was Easter Sunday & Monday holidays). A box of Kleenex in the bathroom would be nice, and papel towels to clean up (the small microfiber is not sufficient). Telephone did not work properly, could not dial out, other party could not hear me. Beautiful tile flooring needs to be cleaned/polished, some of the tiles are loose and it looks very dirty in parts. I would definitely stay there again.
