Guest Reviews
- Enikő (10/5): -
- William (9/5): Location, location, location - Location was great! The owner let us check in early which was great. Internet was iffy, but when it worked it was fast. We didn’t know that you need to have cellular service to enter the apartment. No keys. If you’re coming from the USA, make sure you buy cellular minutes in your phone before you go.
- Alicia (9/5): -
- sindy (7/5): - posizione e letto entrata, orario check out troppo presto
- Saulnier (8/5): - L’emplacement
- Mens (9/5): Pleasant stay - The room is clean and nicely equipped and decorated A minor thing, all the lights go on and off together. So it's either super bright or dark, no soft dim light for the evening.
- Marco (8/5): Centrally located, weird to have a fully non human /online check-in - Central location. Very cramped bathroom, toilet did not leave any space for one’s legs…. :( sitting sideways to avoid wall. Amenities all good. Weird to receive emails prior to stay requesting details of credit card! Especially in this world of hacks. Had to call them to make sure it’s not a hack.
- Catherine (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay in Ola apartment and would highly recommend -
- Laura (10/5): Perfect, higly recommend it - The place is absolutely amazing, location is good, clean, feels new , comfortable 10/10 Communication with staff was a bit confusing
- Linda (8/5): Great location - Great stay in a central location; everything is within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport. The bed was very comfortable, and the amenities (like the small kitchen and washing machine) were super practical. Check-in via the digital key on my phone worked smoothly. Also, communication via WhatsApp was easy and responses were quick. The soundproofing could be better, as it gets quite noisy when the area is busy, especially on weekends. Also, some parts of the bathroom (specifically the shower cabin) could use a bit of maintenance, as it’s currently quite easy to flood the floor while showering.
- Elisa (7/5): - De ligging en kamer waren top en schoon. De kamer was eerder dan inchecktijd klaar, meerdere malen moeten vragen om de deuren te kunnen openen.
- Catalin (7/5): -
- Petra (8/5): - Lage
Dusche
Bett Bei der Beschreibung ist ein Foto der Dachterrasse. Gehört aber zu einem anderen Appartement. Ist irritierend.
Die Kommunikation über WhatsApp lief nur auf Spanisch.
- Attilio Franco (8/5): -
- Elise (9/5): A lovely apartment for a short city break - Amazing location, right in the midst of everything, so many cute bars, restaurants and shops
Short walk to the metro station, no more then 15 minutes to the ramblers and your more well known shops
Bed is super comfortable If you're a light sleeper just note it can get a bit noisy outside and it does get a bit light due to the sheer curtains but for a short stay was ideal
There is no plug sockets near the bed or sofa I could find
- Christina (10/5): Skøn lejlighed med fint lille køkken, bad og dejlig seng. Vi havde 5 overnatninger og kunne sagtens blive længere. - Fantastisk beliggenhed. Skøn og ren lejlighed som indeholdte alt vi behøvede.
Kan kun anbefale dette sted og vi kommer helt sikkert igen.
- Jeroen (9/5): - Locatie is super. Goed bed. Gehorig pand. Uitgaanspubliek in het weekeinde: lekker rumoerig! Verder geen last van gehad.
- maheen (8/5): -
- Scatolini (9/5): -
- Moritz (7/5): Ruhige Lage und Preis Leistung okay - Die Lage ist Top super Zentral und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Das Bett ist in Ordnung und auch sonst hatte man alles was man braucht für einen Städtetrip. Das Bad ist leider ziemlich eng und klein ist aber noch alles im Rahmen. Der Check in ist etwas komplezierter als bei gewöhnlichen Apartments aber auch machbar. Das einzig richtig blöde ist dass die Rezeptionsstandorte relativ weit weg vom Apartment sind und man Wochenends sehr schwer bei der an und Abreise die Möglichkeit hat das Gepäck bis das Zimmer fertig ist abzugeben.
- Meghan (10/5): We loved our time at Ola Living Born! Location was unbeatable. - Place was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and relatively quiet. Location was unbeatable - walkable distance to everything in Gothic Quarter and so many fun restaurants, bars, and attractions.
- Erin (9/5): Great location for your Barcelona stay! - We loved the location and the room was very comfortable. The shower space was a little small… My husband is 6foot and only just fit.
- Mari (9/5): Highly recommend - An excellent stay from start to finish. The property was spotless, well-equipped, and in a fantastic location. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and made our visit very comfortable. Communication was prompt and professional. We would not hesitate to return.
- Daria (10/5): Very good stay. - It was very clean and beautiful place. Perfect location and close everywhere. The only thing was sometimes it was quite loud outside, and it would stink with urine odor when walking in on the street outside the main door from the street entrance.
- Cliona (10/5): -
- Spencer (8/5): -
- Hallfridur (5/5): Great balcony but everything else just semi - The balcony was great Pictures are not as advertised. Shower didn’t work and very very bad smell in the bathroom.
Limited kitchen tools. Needed a chair to stand on to reach upper cabinets.
Lift advertised but still steps to carry the bags up.
Air conditioning was above the bed and thats never good news.
- Christine (8/5): -
- Katrine Kloster (7/5): - Beliggenheden er super og info og service er rigtig god Ingen flaske vand eller et par kapsler kaffe -
Få håndklæder og meget lidt toiletpapir. Generelt et indtryk af kun det absolut nødvendige og den er ikke billig så forventede blot lidt vand ved ankomst
- Szajki-Kiss (8/5): -
- Alex (9/5): -
- Etienne (10/5): - Super service. Réponds et agis rapidement pour régler les problèmes
- Anja (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man Barcelonas pulsierendes Leben kennen lernen und vieles davon fußläufig erkunden möchte. - Die Einrichtung war zweckmäßig und trotzdem gemütlich, genügend Stauraum auch in dem kleinen Bad. Die Küchenzeile war mit allem ausgestattet, um sich ein Frühstück oder kleine Mahlzeiten zuzubereiten. Am besten hat uns die absolut zentrale Lage gefallen, man geht aus der Tür und steht mitten im pulsierenden Leben des Stadtteils.
- Zoe (10/5): Great location, comfortable apartment - Location, size & decor
- Kasper Vibe (9/5): - Kunne godt live den nemme mulighed for at komme ind i bygningen. Værelset var virkelig godt Var lidt svært ud fra kortet at finde det første gang, men ellers var det rigtig nemt
- Sofilau (10/5): Hermoso alojamiento. Súper recomendado. - Complicado el sistema de ingreso. Si no tienes carga en el celular o poca batería imposible de entrar la primera vez.
- Tennyson (8/5): Overall very good, once we finally found the place! - Spaciousness, overall design, staff response was fast by email, comfortable bed "Modern" lighting scheme needed a dimmer, far too bright. Very difficult to find, took us 30 minutes after Uber dropoff, very inadequate instructions, no outside sign that we had reached Ola Living Born, lots of street noise far into the night
- Joeri (7/5): Leuke plek. Top locatie - Perfecte locatie Er kwam uit de airco of plafond roet op ons bed. Verder alles prima. Maar als je wakker werd lagen er lichte roet vlekken op het bed. We hebben er naar gevraagd maar ze hebben er niks mee gedaan. Verder hoor je ‘s nachts veel geschreeuw van jongeren. Denk jonge toeristen.
- Anne (8/5): God oase i storbyen. Simpelt, men velfungerende - Beliggenhed fantastisk
God seng
Nemt at tilgå Brusehovedet faldt af
- chiara (8/5): Soggiorno di 4 notti - Appartamento carino e pulito, si trova in una posizione ottima, con anche la metro a 5 minuti a piedi. Il quartiere è pieno di negozi local, bar e ristoranti. Dotato di tutti i confort, con anche l’ascensore e lavatrice. L’unica pecca la doccia: usciva tutta l’acqua anche stando attenti. Lo staff molto gentile, abbiamo lasciato i bagagli in attesa del check-in in una delle reception lì vicino; lo stesso abbiamo fatto il giorno del check out. All’ingresso dello stabile c’era un odore forte di fognatura, non so se fosse un problema temporaneo. Nell’appartamento comunque non si sentivano particolari odori.
- Artur (8/5): -
- Bruno (8/5): - kleines gemütliches Appartement mit sehr bequemen Betten. In kürze zu Fuss im Zentrum Kann bis Mitternacht schon ziemlich Lärm von der Strasse eindringen.
- Rudz (10/5): Апартаментът се намира в центъра на града, изпълнен с ресторанти, кафенета, музеи и магазини. - Локацията е уникална - в сърцето на града, близо и до морето. Не можахме да открием мрежата за wi-fi, която беше описана в резервацията.
- Marc (5/5): - Appartement propre, bien situé dans le centre historique, accès facile . Commerces proches. Nous aurions donné la meilleure note mais la salle de bains pose problèmes, fuite d'eau sous la porte de la douche ,WC très mal placé et lavabo pour lilliputiens
Une salle de bains non adaptée aux personnes de grandes tailles.
- Marcello (8/5): - mi à piaciuto l'ubicazione, la pulizia e il letto non c'era abbastanza spazio per gli abiti e il bagno (soprattutto il lavandino) molto piccolo
- Louane (5/5): Très bon séjour, dommage pour les quelques soucis. - Le logement est bien situé dans la ville, mais difficile à trouver car mal indiqué.
Point positif : le lit est très confortable, avec une literie et des oreillers de qualité.
Suggestion : ajouter des brochures ou guides sur les activités et lieux à visiter serait un vrai plus. Odeur désagréable dans le hall à l’arrivée.
Salle de bain décevante : évacuation lente, fuites, eau chaude limitée.
Propreté moyenne par endroits.
Plusieurs défauts : sol fissuré, parquet manquant, fissures salle de bain.
Photos non conformes (éléments manquants).
Le canapé est différent des photos et pourrait bénéficier d’un nettoyage.
- Soler (9/5): - LA TRANQUILIDAD Hubiera preferido tener canales de imagenio plus 🥰🥰
- O' Connor (8/5): - Great location, very nice shops & restaurants nearby. Easy to get around from here. There was a noticeable odour in the stairwell but it didn't impact when in the room.
- Anna (8/5): Top verblijf in Barcelona - Locatie is top! Alle faciliteiten waren aanwezig, bed was netjes! Echter was de hygiëne in de badkamer wat minder.
- Simon (7/5): - In the room everything was very nice. The management is completely over communicating. Around 50 messages on literally all channels. EMail, WhatsApp, SMS.
Then a data leak. I have received answers to somebody else since then two times.
- Monica (7/5): - I book the place for the terrace but there was none just a small balcony. Lightning was very uncomfortable, there were no lamps o any way to adjust the light. Check in was awful due to logistical difficulties.
- tomasz (9/5): - Bardzo dobry kontakt z recepcja plus za możliwość przechowania bagażu
Ogólnie polecam, czysto, wszystko co potrzebne było w apartamencie
- Owusu (8/5): -
- Indyjoann (4/5): - The location of the accommodation was very good. Unfortunately, the bedding was very dirty. There were hairs and stains on the sheets. We contacted customer service, but they said they could only help us the next day. We were told that we would receive clean bedding, but we never received it. When we reported that the bedding was dirty and that there were several hairs in the bed, we were told that the hairs were from the cleaner and therefore ‘not dirty’, which we found very unprofessional.
- Erik broby (8/5): -
- Paul (8/5): -
- Andrzej (9/5): -
- Irbens (6/5): It was OK. - The location is genuinely excellent and almost makes up for the apartment's shortcomings on its own - top breakfast spots, bars, the Moco Museum, and the beach are all just minutes away. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped for self-catering. The bed was large and comfortable with nice linen. Check-in was seamless, with a convenient and straightforward door unlock system. The noise level was a significant issue - street sounds carried perfectly into the room at night, including people shouting, street cleaning, and garbage trucks. There was no bedside lamp or power socket near the bed, meaning charging a phone required leaving it in the kitchen or the far end of the room. Lighting options were limited to the main overhead lights or the kitchen area, with no softer alternative. I paid extra for the balcony, but there were no chairs and realistically no space for them, making it feel like poor value. Finally, both the shampoo and shower gel bottles contained the same product - a small detail, but at this price point it felt like a miss.
- Jean-Pierre (9/5): Nous y reviendrons peut être. - L'emplacement dans le quartier ; la terrasse, la proximité des arrêts de bus et des commerces. L'éclairage trop violent au dessus du lit ! Manque de lampes de chevet. .Manque quelques explications sur le fonctionnement de la clim.
- Leire (8/5): - La ubicación y la decoración El ruido de la calle (hay obras en la casa de al lado) y el proceso del check-in que resulta bastante lioso
- Filip (7/5): -
- Rio (8/5): -
- Catheryn (8/5): Unbeatable location in modern space - Great location (the best part) easily accessible to some of the best food in Barcelona and central to the sights and close to the beach.
Clean and modern space with beautiful patio. Smell of smoke each day, small space if more than one person
- Georgia (5/5): Great for sight seeing but only book if you’ll be exploring the nightlife nearby - It was small and had everything we needed. The bed was also comfortable. It was near most things we wanted to see It was loud. You could hear lots of nice from all apartments and the street outside was incredibly loud at all hours. I’d recommend only booking this if you’re interested in the nightlife
- Tom (8/5): Het was een fijn appartement - Het Terras Het had wat schoner kunnen zijn
- Azra (4/5): Let’s start with the positive aspects: the apartment is very nicely furnished and designed. You can see that a lot of ef - Let’s start with the positive aspects: the apartment is very nicely furnished and designed. You can see that a lot of effort was put into renovating the old building. The location is very central and you are right in the middle of everything.
The service is great, very responsive and also available on site.
Negative points: unfortunately, it is not visible in the photos that the lower part of the kitchen is damaged. The pillows have stains that have soaked in. Mold is visible on the beams and also in the bathroom. When you enter the hallway, there is a very unpleasant smell of cat urine or urine in general.
The toaster was completely dirty, as was the work surface. The level of hygiene was very disappointing. This indicates that surfaces and shelves are not being cleaned properly. Unfortunately, the toilet had also been used.
It’s a pity. I cannot recommend this apartment to anyone who values cleanliness and hygiene. Let’s start with the positive aspects: the apartment is very nicely furnished and designed.

- xavier (7/5): Great but could be even greater, with minimum efforts - The location is spot on.
The design is beautiful.
The team is always available.
The value is great.
The luggage held at reception is fab.
Kitchen essentials are great.
I will be back thanks to the mentioned above, but adjustment on the mentioned below should truly be made, not just acknowledged. I took the time to read a lot of past comments, and it seems that despite numerous replies in that sense, nothing is done on the following:
- no bedside lamps or outlets, very very inconvenient...
- the contact via so many platforms is overwhelming.
- the shower head needs an update, the pressure is way too strong for it, and sprays all over the place. (Having signs for water saving is so contradictory...)
- You used to have a coffee kit, no more, not even a single pod... Add an extra euro on the night, provide a pod, all winners.
- The WiFi is extremely poor and on and off, I was here for business, you have been told many times, why no boosters across the building?
- Emma (8/5): - - emplacement idéal
- terrasse sur le toît ensoleillée
- petite kitchenette
- bon lit et literie - check in compliqué, beaucoup de mails par différents canaux (mail, booking, whatsapp,...)
- caution obligée à l'avance
- douche fuite - inondation salle de bain
- gestion des déchets
- VASILEIOS (10/5): -
- Stavroula (10/5): Ήταν πολύ σημαντικό ότι ήταν σε κεντρικό σημείο - Το διαμέρισμα ήταν σε πολύ καλό σημείο της πόλης. Βρισκόταν στο κέντρο κοντά πολύ ωραία μαγαζιά για shopping bars για ποτό και εστιατόρια. Το μόνο που θα μπορούσα να πω είναι ότι ίσως στις φωτογραφίες φαίνεται μεγαλύτερο(μάλλον είναι τραβηγμένες με 0,5). Επιπλέον εμείς τις μέρες που μείναμε έβρεχε κ είχαμε θέμα με το ρεύμα για έκανες διακοπές συχνές.Τις δύο από τις 4 μέρες που μείναμε σχεδόν δεν είχαμε ρεύμα αλλά μας ενημέρωσαν ότι ήταν θέμα της εταιρείας ηλεκτροδότησης και όχι του καταλύματος και η εταιρεία έστειλε ειδικό να το κοιτάξει.

- Stephen (4/5): Brief and stressful because of the confirmation process. - It was clean. There was no communication with anyone except by e-mail and What's App text. The check in procedure was complicated and invasive. Shortly after I completed it someone (possibly from Ola Living) tried to log into my e-mail account. I have two-factor protection, so I cold block it. I had to provide an-email password along the way, which seems unnecessary and improper.
- Nir (1/5): - These crooks, be careful, I paid a booking and after that they announced that there was no electricity in the building, now I received a message that I slept in the apartment they gave me. I haven't even set foot there and I don't know where
Booking doesn't help with a refund even with Booking you need help they don't help All of the above

- AGHARDACH (7/5): Bon emplacement - L’emplacement Les serrures digitales m’ont empêchée de me sentir en sécurité. Sentiment de vulnérabilité la nuit. Il n’y a pas de loquet pour s’enfermer mécaniquement. Je ne renouvellerai pas l’expérience avec ce genre de serrure
- VERONICA (1/5): Pas du tout conforme à l’annonce, frauduleux - L’annonce était frauduleuse entre les visuels du site et la location Le manque de communication, la gestion entière par codes wifi et avec une panne d’électricité , rien ne fonctionnait
