Cute, silent and lightly apartment for rent, excellent located in Gracia, Barcelona center

Very very good location and so easy to travel around the. It’s from here - apartment is small but adequate for 3 but needs some redecoration. The lady from aparteasy was very nice and made our arrival very straightforward

Upon my arrival, the office staff was very friendly and professional. In addition, they were very informative and welcoming. The apartment was as shown in the photos. I have no complaints, and will do business with them again. However, it would have been nice if the balcony had been in the front of the building.

Dear Lessor, we’ve enjoyed our stay in Barcelona last week. The apartment was good. We were warmly welcomed. When we arrived there was a damaged chair at the kitchen. But it was no problem for us. Only to let you know. Please transfer our deposit (200,- Euro) back to our bank account: DE 12100100100731449109 Thanks! We will try to come back soon. Best regards, Thomas and Katrin Lieber

My wife and I stayed here with our eight month old daughter for four days in late September. The apartment that we stayed in was not the same one that is advertised in the pictures. Although there are some similarities, the apartment in the pictures appears to be more like a bachelor-style apartment; the one we stayed in actually had a bedroom. I am saying this in case someone rents this apartment expecting a bachelor, and also because we very much appreciated that there was in fact a room (we rented it thinking it was a bachelor). On the positive side, the apartment is more than enough room for two people plus baby. The owners even purchased a brand new crib and mattress for our daughter which worked out really well. The location is right on the boarder of Gracia and Eixample. We loved that we could wander the quiet and lovely streets of Gracia, including visiting some of the many placas and terrific restaurants, but still be close enough to the hustle and bustle of Passeig de Gracia, including a short walk to the Gothic Quarter and La Sagrada Familia The apartment is quiet and you do not get any of the noise from traffic. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Some items of note. The cooking utensils are very rudimentary, so if you are planning on doing more than light (very light) cooking, you might have to change your plans. The balcony is not really a balcony but more of an open air patio that faces the other tightly packed balconies of neighbouring apartments. (I should say that we didn't mind this, but do not expect a balcony that faces the street, as is shown in the pictures). The air conditioning wasn't the greatest, but since it wasn't that hot we didn't have to rely on it very much. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

I had booked the apartment listed in the picture over three months ago. My husband and son arrived prior to my arrival in Barcelona and checked in to the apartment. He did not know which apartment I had booked and upon my arrival I was surprised to find that we were given a completely different apartment in the same building. Upon entering the apartment we were both shocked at the condition of the room. There was a thick layer of dust EVERYWHERE including the cutlery, dishes, and shelves INSIDE the kitchen cabinets and drawers. It appeared as though nobody had stayed there in years. The apartment itself was falling apart with the exception of the bathroom which they explained was recently renovated. We checked the linens and found to our horror that there was hair, mould and stains on the sheets and pillow cases including the spares which were in the same condition. It was clear that they hadn't been washed nor replaced in who knows how long. We checked the mismatched towels/rags only to find that they were heavily stained and absolutely reeked. After a long journey with our child, we felt that we had no choice but to spend the night there in that filth. The office was closed at this time and we called the only number which was provided. This phone call topped it off and made our blood boil. A man answered and after explaining why we were calling, rather than trying to accommodate and empathize with us, he was annoyed, angry, arrogant, rude and refused to identify himself. We found out later that he was the owner, Luis. All the issues were pointed out the next day to the lone employee working who was also shocked to find the apartment in such poor condition. After 4 long days, we were offered the original room we had booked as though they were UPGRADING US. However, we decided to stay since we had already spent hours cleaning our room and hand washing our sheets. By this time, we could not trust that the other room would be clean. We are avid travellers and understand that things may go wrong, however Luis until the very last day was confrontational, rude and unapologetic. Only on the last day as my husband was walking away from the office did he approach and apologize for our bad experience and the conditions. He offered to refund us an undisclosed amount onto our credit card as compensation. Another lie!!! 3 weeks now and still no refund. Luis, I hope that your family is proud of how you screw over travellers and have no integrity!

We loved this cozy apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and at a great location. Only two (minor) complaints, about the bathroom. There was no real space to hang towels and the Aparteasy folks provided no extra toilet paper in the flat. We had to head to the main offices (luckily right next door) twice to get more. Would advise asking for a few extra rolls when you check in. Otherwise, no complaints. The location was excellent and the apartment was in great condition. We would recommend to others.

Our stay at the apartment was great! Although the amenities were cheap, they were adequate for our needs. The bed was comfortable, the shower was fine, kitchen was well supplied (although with very inexpensive dishes, pans, etc.). The apartment was very well located & we could walk to the metro easily. The staff went out of their way to help us get tickets to Sagrada Familia, as the web site was difficult for us to navigate. We would stay there again if in Barcelona.

I arrived in Barcelona and went directly to Aparteasy which was conveintly located in close proximity to the apartment. I was shown up to an apartment that wasn't mine. I then went back down to the office to try and get moved and was told that my booked apartment wasn't ready and to come back in 2 hours. I wasn't allowed into the correct apartment for 5 hours, after checking in the third time. They were supposed to get in touch with me, but this didn't happen. Hence the three visits. The apartment, which looks very nice in the pictures, is very weathered at this point. Stains on the walls, half of the lights didn't work, the two white chairs in the kitchen nook were very unstable and unusable, and there was no power cord for the TV. Another negative is that the windows thru out the entire apartment are white frosted and you can't see anything outside with the windows closed. The terrace was nice enough, though it's the back of the building and faces another close building. The hot water also was luke warm at best. I figured maybe it was a thing in Barcelona, but got a massage around the corner and had the only hot shower I had during my stay. So in conclusion, this apartment is sufficient, and you almost get what you pay for.

Me and my husband have spent three nights in this studio last week and we really liked it. We were a bit worried about the comments of last review so we checked all the details by email before we booked it. They replied timely and friendly and we took the risk :) When we arrived they welcomed us and gave us some recommendations that we appreciated. During the stay nobody disturbed us, the apartment was very nice, clean and tidy. But what we appreciated the most is the location. It is only a few steps to Passegi de Gracia and a metro station that we didn't even took it any time, we walked down old town. People of the agency were friendly and helpful when we asked them a few questions, no complaints at all. We would recommend that place and we would stay here again!

The apartment is misrepresented. The picture of the balcony shows a view of the street, but that is a different apartment. The actual balcony is in the back adjacent to other balconies in the building behind about 10 feet away. The view is of the various laundry and housecleaning materials and junk the various neighborhoods have stored on their balconies. This ugly view becomes quite tiresome after a few days and can also get very noisy. The web page also shows a famous Gaudi structure next to the apartment, although it is 10-15 minutes walk away. The management company Aparteasy is in the building but unhelpful. They said that the switch from the apartment pictured on the web site was a mistake, since they don't rent that apartment. They refused to remedy other problems, including a dirty shower, dirty stove top, and inadequate kitchen equipment. They could not or would not explain how to work the washing machine. The management had offered an airport transfer service, but simply did not show up. This proved fortunate, since taxi service was less expensive. The TV and Internet are inadequate. The majority of TV channels are in Catalan plus a scattering of mostly minor Spanish channels. There are only 2 international channels, Discovery and Disney. The Wi-Fi is too slow and intermittent for streaming video. Gracia is a terrific area, but there are lots of apartments for rent there. You should keep looking.
