The Collection Barcelona - Modernist and comfortable flat - Casa de Flor

This is a reasonable flat in a nice neighborhood. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and it's close to two metro stops. We stayed with a family of six—two grandparents, two kids, and two grandkids—and the apartment was suitable. There's a main bedroom with a queen size bed, a small bedroom with two single beds, and a fold out couch, plus two bathrooms. The flat looks out on the interior area of the apartment block, and was relatively quiet. It has a refrigerator/freezer, and the kitchen is stocked with cups, plates, and utensils. Things to beware of before booking this flat: - There's enough hot water for one person at a time to take a brief 4-5 minute shower. - Both showers leaked and there's swollen floorboards and peeled paint from water soaking into the wood. - The bedrooms do not have good air circulation, but there is an AC unit in the main bedroom. The flat had two pedestal fans in the closet, but one was broken. The other worked, but the upper half didn't secure to the base. Be careful picking it up. - We weren't supplied with enough towels, and the bedding for the fold-out couch had no covers and it was stained and yellowed. I had to go back-and-forth with the property before they would supply us towels and duvet cover/pillowcases. All things considered, it felt a bit overpriced, but not outrageously so, and I'd consider it a better value if there were enough hot water for 2-4 people to shower/wash their hair and I hadn't had to beg for linens.

Room appliances, aesthetics, and cleanliness matched the images we were presented with when reviewing the flat online. Great location and suitable flat for a short-term trip. Our largest criticism was poor communication on the owner's behalf during our stay regarding a requirement for extra sheets and towels that we were missing, along with a lack of hand soap to accommodate 5 people showering. We reached out on multiple occasions and even called to put a request in, but we never received this support. Overall, solid experience, but if you're someone who needs communication for any missing materials during your stay, look elsewhere

We were very close to the Gothic area so near lots of shops and restaurants, but the area was relatively quiet where the apartment was.We didn't stay in the originally booked apartment as the lift was broken and one of the guests is disabled and could not climb eight flights of stairs, let alone with luggage. However, the management were really quick to respond and found us alternative accommodation in less than an hour.

A very good and central location. Check-in was easy and the digital key was very useful as there were 5 of us who would come and go whenever. The pictures were accurate.

Cute place with restaurants nearby. Really good communication. Quiet neighbourhood. Even had an elevator to make bringing suitcases up easy. Very spacious for the three of us. Would definitely stay again.
