Places To Avoid, Barcelona

All those tourist-oriented bars 'alongside' main streets ... just check if you can see some spanish people seated: if not, leave the bar ...

There's an exception to this rule: tapas bar are usually crowded of spanish people even on touristic paths ... so trust them !!

The internet site of this GOBCN short term apartment renting agancy is misleading according to our experience.
We rented an apartment. It turned out to be one...
...without any exterior window.
Hugh?
Yep!
Safe but ...smelly bunker, although with really pretty Ikea type of furniture, and very very very nicely web presentation.
The apartment is located close to the Sagrada Familia catherdal. It is rented as "first floor" but in fact it is an intermediate floor between ground floor (behind) and the real first floor.
It is located just behind a bar with no noise reduction at all and the bars toilets have their "inner windows" peeing right under your bed!
The warm water heating has capacity for a kitchen so your water does not get warm at all. When finally the bar is closing Coal monoxide gas exhaust fumes are mixed together with toilet , sigarette and cooking smell and all coming back into the apartment, and you still can't sleep.
It is really an unforgettable experience :-)
We were only three days there, reported the problem to GOBCN at return, but they refused to remediate nor to correct their website.
Be ware! Don't try GOBCN at home!
But well after all why to complain, what you see at GOBCN is much less then what you really get :-)
