"The apartment is very clean, there is somebody that comes every morining..."
Pros: The apartment is very clean, there is somebody that comes every morining for cleaning.
the bathroom is shared, but there is no problem, we never waited more than 5 - 10 minutes for a shower.
the kitchen is fully equiped.
at check in we received helpful information: where to eat cheap, where to have fun, which areas are nice and which ones are to avoid and so on.
the apartment is in a great location, walking distance from all the major intrest points.
Cons: The area where the apartment is located (plaza catalunya and rambla) is very crowded and vrey noisy, so it's not recommended for the people that desire a quiet vacantion.

"Excellent location!! comfortable room and bed"
Pros: Excellent location!! comfortable room and bed. nice little balcony. great cafes in the vicinity.
Cons: Loud from the street noise (we knew this before booking and brought ear plugs) this is far outweighed by excellent location though. woman who checked us in was lacking in friendliness which was disappointing, as other reviews had said customer service great. husband had to rescue people (with his swiss army knife) from the bathroom who had become locked in. beware of locks!

Pros: Centrally located apartment in barcelona, which was well maintained and cleaned by the cleaner whom we didn't see. i would happily recommend this accomodation to other travellers.
Cons: It had not been made clear that this was an apartment share and that we would be sharing with others during our stay. however this did not impinge on our experiences of staying at the apartment.

"Excellent hotel! the location is ideal, located very close to las ramblas..."
Pros: Excellent hotel! the location is ideal, located very close to las ramblas and la catalunya metro station is a 5 minute walk away. the room upon arrival and 2 bathrooms that are shared among the 5 (2person) apartments were always very clean. further, access to a kitchen and having a shelf on a refrigerator was wonderful. all is all was a fantastic place to stay and i would highly recommend to anyone traveling to barcelona!
Cons: If you do not sleep well in the heat make sure to bring an extra fan, as the hotel only provides you with one, which is not quite enough when it is 30 degrees outside; however, opening the window tens to help a bit

"The staff is absolutely wonderful"
Pros: The staff is absolutely wonderful. the place is immaculately clean.
Cons: As with any hostel type situation. .. your comfort completely depends on others that are sharing the flat. unfortunately we had to share the flat for 3 days with 4 18 year old drunk, loud, rude and totally inconsiderate irishman. it was unbearable for these days.

"The staff at super balmes apartment were out of this world, so helpful and..."
Pros: The staff at super balmes apartment were out of this world, so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. they were available to answer all questions you had no matter what time of night you arrived. i arrived at 1.30am and the staff were there to greet me with a smile and were extermely helpful.
the apartment itself was spotlessly clean and tidy, it was gorgeous and spacious. i was very impressed with the size of the room and the shared kitchen and bathroom were lovely.
super balmes is situated about 100yards from las ramblas which was an amazing location. within 5minutes you are in the centre of barcelona. you can hear the traffic when you go to bed at night but it is not loud enough to keep you awake or disturbe your sleep.
i would stay here again and reccommend these appartments to others with no hesitation.
Pros: Very well located
Cons: Some shelves in the showers would help
