Guest Reviews

• Justine (9/5): - Le logement est très bien placé et très spacieux. Marta est très réactive et à l'écoute. Tout s'est très bien passé.
• Pulgar (9/5): Excelente alojamiento en ubicación excepcional - Excelente ubicación Dificultad para activar la llave digital para ingresar al edificio
• Dave (10/5): Stay at Olles Apartment - Marta is very helpful and replies quickly. NA
• Ivo (8/5): -
• Steve (9/5): We all enjoyed our stay. Thanks Marta - An outstanding location in the historic Ribera neighbourhood of Barcelona and close to the Parc de la Ciutadella We ate out and so we had everything we needed
• Elisa (9/5): Super - Posizione eccellente,centrale e comoda per muoversi sia a piedi che in metro. La proprietaria ospitale e accogliente. Premurosa nei consigli e per tutte le necessità. Appartamento spazioso.
• Denisa (9/5): - Apartmán má fantastické umístění - přímo u El Born, pár minut k moři i kamkoliv do centra. Cestovali jsme s rodinou a apartmán nám poskytl pohodlné zázemí pro prohlídku památek Barcelony. Trochu oprýskané stěny, ale to našemu pobytu nevadilo.
• Alexander (9/5): - Sehr gut waren die tolle Lage im Altstadtviertel El Born in fußläufiger Entfernung zum Hafen, Strand und der Rambla. Dies trifft auch auf die Zimmeraufteilung und Größe der Wohnung zu. Die Vermieterin war super und sehr hilfsbereit und hat immer umgehend geantwortet. Trotz der zentralen Lage am Placa de Olles war die Wohnung sehr ruhig und hat sehr gute Fenster. Die Wohnung wirkt an einigen Stellen renovierungsbedürftig und ein paar schöne Bilder täten der Wohnung auch ganz gut ;-)
• Rodolfo (10/5): -
• Louis (10/5): - La localisation et de l'espace dans l'appartement.
• Veronica (9/5): -
• Rodrigo (8/5): - Bem localizado Agua não estava quente e a porta do banheiro não fechava.
• Miller (6/5): Great location. - The location is excellent. The layout of the flat was great with plenty of room in the sitting/dining room and good size bedrooms. There was laundry left drying in the living room - we put it in the dryer so that was taken care of. There were no replacements for toilet paper. The only cleaning supplies was kitchen soap, so we had no way to clean up the bathrooms or counters for full weeks stay. There was no dustpan, but there was a broom. We bought a sponge since the one provided was used, old and dirty. We also bought a kitchen roll as none was provided. There is no kettle or coffee machine. The dishware and cooking pots were adequate although well used. The main bathroom was nice with a tub; the second was much smaller with no bath/shower so we shared. A kettle would have made a big difference for coffee/tea and washing up. A spare roll of toilet paper would have been appreciated.
• Maria delCarmen (8/5): Ubicación inmejorable, muy buena relación precio calidad - Lo mejor es la ubicación. Inmejorable El ascensor no funcionó dos días
• Forsberg (8/5): - Fantastiskt läge! Lätt att kommunicera med Martha. Bra låssystem. Lägenheten bra planerad och mkt bekväm. Badrumsdörren gick inte att stänga!
• Nobuyoshi (9/5): とても満足しています。 - ロケーションもよく、シャワーの出方も素晴らしかったです。部屋も広く、家族５人で宿泊するのに十分でした。 ベッドがへたれている点、また洗面台の鏡が一部割れていました。
• Jocebel (3/5): Nous sommes décues et frustrées par l'accès au logis et l'indisponibilité d'une personne responsal. - La localisation du logement, quartier pittoresque et très intéressant, près des transports en commun. Pas de clé pour la porte ni la porte de secours, suite à une panne de l'ascenseur nous avons perdu beaucoup de temps à chercher de l'aide, sans compter les aller-retour dans les escaliers pour des dames de 80+ ans . Beaucoup de linge mouillé sur le séchoir dans la cuisine qui n'était toujours pas sec après 4 jours. Beaucoup de sable sur le sol dans les chambres. (nous ne sommes pas allées à la plage). Les lave-linge et sécheuse ne fonctionnent pas bien. Nous aurions du avoir une clé pour la porte de secours, surtout quand on sait que l'ascenseur est souvent en panne, selon les locataires permanents.
• İrem (10/5): - Long story short good location
• Hernan Alfredo (10/5): Excelente ubicación - La Ubicación y la comodidad Varios inconvenientes en el baño principal que al comentarlo fueron solucionados
• Anja (1/5): This was the worst accommodation experience I have ever had - The location was excellent. Everything else was misleading and did not match the description on Booking. The apartment is completely misrepresented on Booking. The photos are misleading and do not reflect the real condition at all. In reality, there was visible mold on the walls in both the bedroom and the living room, damaged furniture, missing toilet equipment, and overall poor maintenance. We were travelling with a baby and a child, which makes the presence of mold particularly unacceptable and worrying from a health perspective. When we reported the issues, the host denied responsibility and no meaningful solution was offered. We stayed only because we had no alternative accommodation at that moment. Spending the night in such conditions was extremely uncomfortable. I strongly do NOT recommend this place, especially for families. Booking should seriously review this listing.
• Carolina (8/5): Una excelente opción en Barcelona - La anfitriona muy amable, el apartamento muy cómodo, dos baños, lavadora y secadora. El sector, cerca a todo! Las almohadas. Pero es de gustos. El sector, al ser tan turístico, se debe tener cuidado.
• Valentina (9/5): -
• Angel (8/5): Good value - Great location, close to everything, great for families. Need maintenance, the main room door squeaks, the bath door hits the floor, there is no curtain in the shower and no complimentary shampoo and shower gel.
• Julian (9/5): Excelente lugar, cumplen con todo! - Muy cómodo y tiene todos los necesario. Todo estuvo bien.
• Petrea (10/5): -

• Jonas (8/5): - Praktisches Appartement in sehr guter Lage. Freundlicher Service / Kommunikation. Keine Probleme vor Ort. Alles Notwendige vorhanden.
• Blanckaert (9/5): Top locatie in de gezellige wijk op wandelafstand van zee! - Locatie was top! Goede uitvalbasis om Barcelona te bezoeken. In de gezellige Gotische wijk en dicht bij zee. Propere accommodatie. Communicatie met host verliep uitstekend!! Koffiezet was niet aanwezig.
• Matias (10/5): Todo muy comodo para una familia - El alojamiento es perfecto. Tiene todo lo necesario para una comoda estancia, dentro de un bello barrio. La anfitriona con muy buena disposición. Volveremos
• Mathieu (10/5): Réactivité de l’hôte à nos questions pour un super séjour - L’emplacement dans un quartier très agréable et l’espace largement suffisant pour une famille de 4 personnes Ras
• vayle (9/5): - Comfortable a great location good facilities I found the smart lock a little difficult but Marta offered solutions
• José Joaquín (8/5): -
• Maryann (1/5): -
• Regis (8/5): -
• Pablo Adrián Bozza (10/5): - La ubicación del departamento es única. Todos les servicios en prefecto funcionamiento. Marta, la anfitriona, un plus aparte... siempre atenta, dispuesta y cortes. SUPER RECOMENDABLE. Nada
• zollwik (8/5): - bardzo dobry kontakt z gospodarzem
• Edward (8/5): My family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of Barcelona. - Great location and host was very helpful and informative. We would of liked a couple more comfortable cozy armchairs.
• Mishell (10/5): -
• Delaporte (9/5): - La ubicación y las instalaciones. Que dejaron la ropa lavada en el tender, de los anteriores pasajeros ( sábanas, mantel etc) Eramos 4 pasajeras y sólo 4 sillas. El resto muy bien
• Rūta (10/5): Perfect stay 🤩 - Perfect place in the city, you can reach many famous places by foot. Owner is very friendly! Apartmen is specious and clean! Easy check in with the app. We had a great time, thanks!🤩 It needs a bit renovation, but it doesn’t bothered us :)
• Herberto (8/5): -
• Mészáros (10/5): -
• Hiroki (10/5): -
• Clive (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay in Olles apartment and will definitely be back again in the future. - I liked the location and where we were based as there was so much to see and do. The street at night is great and had some nice vibes. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower head wasn’t working
• Adnan (7/5): Good -
• Dhayalan (7/5): Good -
• Amanda (8/5): Great location. Host is friendly and timely in response. - Great location, amenities were fine. There wasn’t a hook for shower head. Minimal linens. The cleaning lady showed up early, let herself in and pushed us around.
• Clayton (10/5): Fantastic apartment, one of our favourite places we stayed - Location, size , facilities, balcony view, security, Only things the apartment needed was a kettle for a cup of tea 😊
• Aruzhan (4/5): The furniture was impractical, the table in the kitchen gets dirty easily. Perhaps it was done intentionally to fine cus - Everything was fine, but there was one issue. The host didn't give us a review of the apartment, and in the end she said that we had dirty her table. I can't say for sure if it was us, because I don't remember what the state of the table was before us. In fact, we didn't do anything unusual, we only ate once at the table. I think the host could have found a more practical table so that people could eat freely in the kitchen, and not then present a bill for a large sum as a fine. We indicated that we needed apartments for a large family, and we would like all the furniture to be comfortable for children.
• Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eshuis (10/5): Exceptional - Phenomenal location with a cool little balcony overlooking a vibrant plaza. Beds were fine but you just can’t beat the location.
• Sofia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mindaugas (8/5): Very good - First time in my life, I saw hosting place where owner for customers left laundry for drying in the middle of the living room.
• Debra (8/5): Very good - The location was fantastic, and Marta was reponsive to all of our requests. The one disappointment was that more than half of the light bulbs in the apartment were not working. It made getting ready and enjoying the Livingroom area a challenge. I appreciated that Marta was willing to come and change them, but I didn't want to waste the short time I had in Barcelona meeting her to have them changed. I feel like that is something simple that should be kept on top of.
• John (5/5): Pass on this place unless you are used to one star hotels. - Great location! Convenient for most everything as a tourist. Very tired. Looks like late 1970s interior desperately in need of an update. Half of the lights were not working due to burnout bulbs and the kitchen light cover completely missing. The kitchen table had large obvious stains and the furniture was terribly worn and torn. The furniture was covered in furniture covers and they were torn and terribly faded. The walls were in desperate need of paint as numerous places had marks and stains from wear and tear. The bedroom walls had large cracks in the plaster with moisture stains. The bathroom was horribly dark with only one of three small ceiling lights operating. The tub was dangerously slippery and the shower curtain old and improperly hung. The towels were faded and in need of replacement. The only toiletries was liquid hand soap. No bath soap or shampoo. The baseboards were ragged and worn particularly the external corners were missing and splintered. The bed sheets and pillow cases were worn and stained. The bed was uncomfortable. The second bedroom was two small beds that were separated bunk beds set up as two single beds. The TVs were as small as a desktop monitor in the bedroom and the other in the living room was at least 15 years old and was the size of a large desktop monitor. I did not use the kitchen or appliances so I can’t speak for that. The washer dryer were marginally useful and absolutely no detergents or soaps provided. The only redeeming factor was the location. And for my short stay of two days I tolerated the situation.
• Janine (8/5): We had a very comfortable stay at Ollie's and it was situated really well. Walked to lots of sights - Location was fabulous. We found it a little difficult to locate at first and wasn't aware that there would be an app operates lock. One of the group did not have a smart phone so this was a problem for us. Overall we had a great stay. Location was perfect, easy to get a taxi to sights and shop or book if you want to. Being fore warned that we needed a smart phone to operate the door lock. Having a kettle would be good and some of the lights did not work.
• Ahmed (2/5): Paid too much the pictures and descriptions were misleading. Will not recommend or stay there again ! - Location Expensive Was dark and depressing ; Hard to get in and out due to the locking system. The worst mattress to sleep on poor quality, poking springs and uncomfortable has to be replaced for future guests.
• Tito (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is awesome and very well located. MArta the host was very nice all the time. I can go back there anytime
• Keri (9/5): Superb -
• Muhammad (9/5): Overal it was a great stay - The size of the house, the location.
• Archelle (8/5): Nice space for a brief stay. - Location is exceptional, close to restaurants and walking distance from major tourist sites. The WiFi was strong and a family of four with two devices each had no issues with latency connections. The beds are comfortable and the shower water pressure was strong. Laundry amenities was great, which had both a washer and a dryer. It needs updating on the upkeep. Some parts are showing some wear, like baseboards that are attached by tape and one of the bathroom doors can’t be properly shut. There is no flexibility for early check-in nor late check-out and no luggage hold options. Fortunately, it is very close to a Luggage Hero location, but a little costly. The kitchen is sufficient for heating up food but has little to offer with the wares. Guests should be prepared to bring their own coffee/tea, sugar, cream, paper towels, etc. There is no kettle, as the host advised us that in their space, one uses cups to heat water in the microwave.
• Chienchiu (10/5): Would definitely come and stay here again. - The host was the BEST. She went above and beyond for all my needs. The apartment is super cute and the location can't be beat. Loved looking out the window to the lively courtyard.
• Marek (5/5): Nothing special about the location or the interior. Just a place to spend a night. - Local food and a few restaurants nearby. The rest is just OK. The apartment needs some serious renovation. It seems to be run down with dirty walls, old furniture, and water stains. Entering requires 3 different sets of codes and God help you if your phone runs out of battery or service. Fort Knox has less security. Too bad We did not read all the previous feedback since this is not a new story. The owner obviously doesn't seem to care since statistically speaking this place is advertised as "Very Good". For sure the price doesn't reflect what you are getting as the attached pictures don't reflect the reality. This place is just OK for a night or two as long as you don't mind any of the previously mentioned issues. READ OTHER REVIEWS. They all are accurately describing what you will get and unfortunately, things don't seem to improve over time.
• Tamara (10/5): Family of 5 3 night stay - Location was fantastic, with good facilities and surrounding venues. Marta helped where possible with information and bookings and prompt reply to questions. and lived 2 separate toilets with a family of 5. Even being amongst the action it was quite when windows closed. We really can't complain.
• Marcus (9/5): Fabulous… too bad we only had one night. - Location location location… and living space is big… two toilets a plus also Shower fixture broken
• Irene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Perfect location! Wonderful Host! Very comfortable. - A/C, Elevator, Great Location, friendly host.
• Johnny (10/5): Wonderful place - Location was wonderful The bedvin the master bedroom was very hard.
• Anirban (7/5): Great location, decent apartment - excellent location at El Bron, overlooking quaint square with eateries. Great atmosphere all around. Marta, the host, was very helpful and communicative, and even organised our early morning airport taxi. Great access through app, and elevator available. good bathroom. 2 toilets, a rarity in Europe. Old and dated apartment, needs maintenance. Rooms have no natural light, making them dingy.
• Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect, the apartment was fully equipped and very clean. Great value Nothing
• Susan (6/5): Fabulous stay in Barcelona. But very disappointed with the apartment. But we could not fault Marta the owner. Shame the - The position. The security. Two toilets. Arriving to wet bedding and towels drying in the apartment there throughout our 4 night stay. No kettle as advertised. Limited hot water as not enough for four showers and washing dishes. Very dusty floors.( balls of fluff). No hot tub as advertised. Apartment needs refurbishing. Photos on booking.com must be very old and not up to date.
• Desperski (10/5): Everything perfect !!! -
• Aleksandra (10/5): We were very happy with the stay, the neighbourhood is fantastic, nice places to eat within 10 meters, appartament was’t - Great adress
• Manolis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roberto (8/5): Quite location in old town - The location of the appartment is really close to the old town of Barcelona. The appartment is located in a small square with bars and all the windows are on a not trafficated street. The windows reduce completly the noise coming from the streets and bars and this is a great point in Spain. Around the appartment there is a small supermarket and also a bar for a breakfast or a dinner on the street. We found the appartment full equipped with what is necessary. The position is close to the barceloneta and the old town of Born. Around the flat, there is the big train station where you can take so many buses There were some things that where damaged in the flat but we inform the proprety and she inform us for the great feedback and she provise to adjust/substitute after our permanence (didn't know if she will complete). Maybe something is to be rennovated, adjusted and repainted but the quality of the flat is great and on the line for Spain and for an appartment that maybe is constantly booked considering the position and affluence of Barcelona. I suggest to install a dishwasher to have a more confortable holiday and reduce constantly the use of water (problem nr 1 in Barcellona actually)
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - N/A We had no trouble getting into the building. We had trouble getting to the apartment, and also trouble contacting you (you weren't answering our texts messages). After we spent a good 20 minutes in the stairway we asked a gentleman (cleaner) who advised us of the elevator code. After that little problem everything went well. Thank you for your comfortable home 😊
• Ron (7/5): Good -
• Annabel (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great Having space to move around Facilities to wash and dry clothes Property had some wear and tear, excessive marks and scratches around apartment. Lack of oven was not great
• Antonio (3/5): Poor - Location Clean and services
• Anonymous (10/5): a charming spot in wonderful el born that we really enjoyed and felt comfortable - great location and perfect for what we needed with 2br one and a half bath washer/dryer and basic kitchen -
• Jelena (9/5): Superb -
• Walter (8/5): Very good - The location was great. Close to everything. The owner Marta was very helpful and informative. Easy check in and check out. The hob needs repair. It has cracks that allow water to short it out when cleaning the unit. Provide more trash bags.
• Marian (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect! Plenty of fabulous restaurants, bars and shops on your door step, short walk to metro and beach. Host was so helpful, organising taxi to and from airport and baby's cot.
