MH Apartments Liceo

This apartment was not at all as it appeared in the ad. It was dirty, worn out and full of fruit flies and the odd roach. Expensive and poor quality, but I guess you can charge a premium when you’re near Las Ramblas. If they have renovated, it was a while ago or maybe they hadn’t done our suite yet. Sometimes you should sacrifice location for a place that’s a little better.

Liked · Great location, just 150m to La Rambla and another 150m to Liceu metro station. Little elevator helped us get our bags to the 5th floor. 2 air conditioning units (living room and bedroom) worked well. Apartment had all the basics including coffee pod machine and washing machine with drying rack. Quiet in the bedroom, away from street noise. Made friends with the tiny gecko who hung out near the bathroom. Disliked · Located on a narrow one way street with city garbage hoppers directly in front of the building entrance. Tiny bedroom only fit a standard double bed, which was pressed up against one wall. Bathroom was tiny, and doorframe and vanity showed signs of past water damage - chipped and warped. Shower doors didn’t meet in the middle so careful use of handheld shower was required to avoid a flood on the bathroom floor. Top floor apartment had tiny floor level windows on street side which let in street noise but no light. Bedroom and living room had doors opening onto rooftop courtyard with ladder to roof … could be a nice bonus space with the addition of some furniture, shade and lighting. Had trouble with the automated check in machine which wouldn’t scan our passports and had to manually enter all info, which took a bit of time.
