Las Ramblas Apartments III

3 of us booked this apartment for our first holiday in Barcelona. Once we booked we realized that it wasn't the entire apartment booked but just some of the rooms. We wanted to cancel the reservation but they didn't help us with anything, not even a request to move the dates which would have cost us €1000 more just for three days. Terrible service and super grumpy and inhumane people, especially a certain Luc**. Experience to forget.

The most inconsiderate apartment owners we have met. We arrived at the apartment for a week with babies and they did not bother to update us because on the street and also in the building construction work is going on all day. The children could not sleep. When we decided to leave they refused to give us the money back. We slept in the apartment one night and we were charged for a whole week !! Do not recommend anyone to stay in their apartments!

We booked this apartments for six persons based on the outstanding reviews we read online. Although all in all we had a nice stay, I do have to add some nuance to all the glowing reviews. First of all the noise from the street really disturbed our sleep. The lovely big windows in the apartment aren't isolated well enough, so you can hear all the traffic noise and the people shouting outside as if you were standing on the street itself. The apartment is clean with a kitchen and a comfortable living room. The living room is somewhat decorated, but the bedrooms are very spartan indeed. Not a frame on the walls to liven up the room. The bathrooms were on the small side and one of the showers needed reparation. There was also a broken light that needed fixing. There was also no door separating the two adjoining rooms from the living room. The entry door at the street level also had a big crack in it. I guess this apartment can use a makeover or just better maintenance. The matresses on the bed were very tin and I was scared I wouldn't sleep very well on then, but that turned out luckily not to be the case. The whole vibe of the bedroom was very minimal though. Be warned: if you hire this apartment you only get one set of towels for your whole stay. Since we stayed five nights we would have appreciated some extra towels. On the upside: the location is excellent!
