Guest Reviews
- BOUTADGHART (5/5): Pas mal, ca pourrait être mieux pour le prix dépensé - Accueil très froid, presque aucune aide pour monter les valises dans les escaliers
caution de 300 euros non encore remboursée
taxe de séjour non incluse dans le prix payé et trop chère
Appartement non propre
Appartement pas bien équipé
hôte qui tarde à répondre
le jour de l'arrivée nous avons dû attendre dans la rue, très circulables, avec nos bagages plus de 20 min, sachant que nous avons fourni tous les détails de notre arrivée;
Appartement très ancien, grand mais peu fonctionnel (pas beaucoup de rangements, deux petites cuisines, canapés très anciens,...)
4em étage en escaliers ...
- sherri (8/5): Charm and character - Supermarket was right next store making it easy for our arrival to feed our kids. They provided coffee maker and coffee, hairdryers, washing machine, voltage converter (we didn't use) iron and some light snacks. There was a quiet terrace at the back of the apartment. There were many windows which allowed for lots of fresh air. The apartment was older but clean. The company was friendly to communicate with. The man that came to meet us with the key and show us the apartment was very friendly. There are 2 double beds and a bunk bed also 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens. There's plenty of space for a family. The only improvement I can suggest is the pillows. They are very flat and only 1 per person is provided. On our second last night there it felt like our bed was sagging in the middle. We heard a noise that sounded like it was coming from the corner of the bedroom like something electric running. Then the bed was firmer??? That wasn't a bad thing because the bed was definitely more comfortable after that. We're still not sure if that was our imaginations. Overall it was a great experience! Better pillows are my only suggest. The walk up to apartment is 68 steps with no elevators. We didn't mind but we almost brought my Mom and it would've been awful for her.

Our Experience:
Our family of four (two children aged 11 and 9) booked a 6-night stay at Housalia Paseo de Gracia. Unfortunately, after just one night, we had to relocate due to issues with the property's suitability for families with young children, particularly during colder months. Despite money was paid, we couldn’t risk the health of our young children.
Issues Encountered:
Toilets unfit fit for the purpose during winder time: The advertised two-bedroom property only offered one functional toilet located outside the rooms on the balcony. You need to go through two doors namely from the living room to the toilet area and from the toilet area to the balcony, both doors couldn’t be closed properly. Cold wind kept sneaking in.
Unreliable Heating: The heating system in one room malfunctioned, leaving us feeling cold despite contacting the on-site manager who came in after 45 minutes. They offered a small heat fan which was not good enough to keep us warm.
Inadequate Bedding: The provided thin blankets were insufficient for winter temperatures, contributing to our children falling ill.
Unclear Website Information: Discrepancies existed between the advertised amenities (two toilets) and the actual layout (one toilet). We learned upon inquiry that the property owner had recently merged two units on November 26th, 2024, after our booking confirmation on November 23rd. Unfortunately, the website description had also been updated to reflect this change. Therefore, I had no way to verify that because I couldn’t go back in time to look at the then content.
Challenging Accessibility: The property required carrying luggage up four flights of stairs with no mention of this detail in the listing. This proved difficult and potentially dangerous while you were carrying heavy luggages commuting up and down. The description after 26 November said there were 4 floors to reach the property.
- Isabella (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaye (8/5): Very good -
- Manoj (4/5): Apartment too small and being on the forth floor with no elevators was not at all value for money. - The apartment was centrally located. Collection of keys was very easy. The host was very responsive to try to resolve issues. The apartment was on the fourth floor with no elevator. Very hard to carry the luggage up. The rooms were too small; the pictures online were deceptive. Dishwasher was broken. Clothes washer and Dryer in the balcony - not convenient if raining.
- Mary (8/5): Wonderful location, apartment needs updating. - Location is ideal - half a block off the passeig de gracia, 2 blocks to Plaza de Catalunya, easy and beautiful walk to EVERYTHING. Right in the heart of the city center. Great little balcony. Very attentive management company. Apartment is old and I guess that's part of it's charm, but could use updating. Didn't feel as clean as I like. Dishwasher didn't work. Space is laid out a little strangely with large entryway and a back hallway that aren't very useful. No dining table, not enough chairs or seating space in general.
