Slight confusion on access to the apartment - not before 3pm, but we had an email earlier in the week preceding to say we could go early (so booking left luggage just off Pl Catalunya not needed). However, the access was to leave luggage in the office only (although it was taken to our room in our absence). I missed the small print for weekend check in (not just after hours), so also charged €30 (I guess mini breaks starting before the weekend won't incur this).
Pictures on the website were flattering; not awful, but dull, overlooked by flats at the back and a main road on the front. Saturday night had skateboarders outside too. The main gripe was the persistent smell of stale tobacco, no amount of open windows relieved the odour.
We didn't use the kitchenette, as we were out first thing, grabbing breakfast on the way (nice small market with a variety of food by the Metro) and eating out in the evenings.
We lost our flat keys (bag stolen, despite us aware of the dangers and trying to be vigilant), but we're able to get a replacement set by heading back to the apartment that afternoon, to catch Erika still in the office, so big thank you for the assistance there.
