We just returned from a stay at this place in Barcelona (late June, early July, 2018). This apartment is unquestionably well-situated. The manager, Elisenda, is extremely kind and helpful. The place is right near the metro, St.Pau (which is stunning), and minutes from Sagrada Familia. However, as others have noted, it is quite claustrophobic. We thought an interior apartment would be ok, as we have rented them elsewhere and had good experiences, but this really did have a tight feeling (for 4 days, anyway- maybe 1 or 2 nights would have been ok). Additionally, we have real concerns about the safety of the place. As others noted, the shower is very tight. Though my husband is a smaller man at 5'7" and in good shape, he too found it quite uncomfortable. On our last day there, he had a terrible accident in the bathroom that could quite easily have been life-threatening. Because the bath mat was simple cloth, he did a complete slip when he utilized it coming out of the shower, and had a hard fall on the floor, giving both of us quite a scare. We did advise Elisenda, so I assume they will invest in a rubber bottomed mat with traction, so this doesn't happen to anyone else. The fall could have had tragic consequences had he hit his head, which he did not. Also, the confined space and lack of fire alarms (at least that we could see) made us wonder where one could possibly go in the event of an emergency as the windows are a few floors off the ground, narrow and only facing what appears to be an enclosed alleyway. While we hate to hurt anyone's business (particularly where they seem to be very kind), we are surprised they were licensed at all and will make our concerns known to VRBO. I would never be able to forgive myself if someone got hurt in this place.
