Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Unbeatable location on Rambla de Catalunya
- Walking distance to Casa Batlló and Plaça de Catalunya
- Spacious 3-bedroom layout good for groups
Snel Overzicht: A spacious apartment in a world-class location managed by a company with a reputation for withholding deposits and ignoring maintenance.
Beoordeeld door @OliviaSpiniello70320: Me and my partner needed a quick city break and this place delivered. The rooftop pool at night is magical with the skyline, and we actually used the outdoor gym! It felt super exclusive but was surprisingly affordable. Definitely grab a selfie in the elevator!

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a pool?
Likely no. While some 'My Space Barcelona' listings mention pools, this specific Rambla de Catalunya building typically does not have one.
Where do I check in?
You must go to the My Space Barcelona office (usually Carrer de Hercegovina 1), which is a taxi ride away from the apartment.
Is the deposit refundable?
Theoretically yes, but many reviews cite issues with deposits being withheld for 'noise' or 'damages' that guests dispute.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, the building has an elevator, though it may be small or occasionally out of service.
Is it air-conditioned?
Yes, but effectiveness varies by room and maintenance status.
Can I leave luggage?
Only at the check-in office for a fee (€5/bag), not at the apartment building itself.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Document EVERYTHING upon arrival: take photos of every scratch, stain, and broken item to protect your deposit.
- ✨
Don't rely on the 'emergency' number; response times are notoriously slow.
- ✨
The '3rd bedroom' is often very small, sometimes just a bunk bed or trundle.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The check-in office is in a completely different neighborhood (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi).
💡You might be asked to take out your own trash to street bins or face a fine.
💡The 'terrace' photos often belong to a different unit in the same portfolio.
💡Hot water capacity can be insufficient for 6-8 people showering in a row.
💡Neighbors are often local residents who are weary of tourists and quick to complain about noise.
