Excellent apartment! Good climate control, it has everything you need for living, convenient location.

Excellent communication with host. Quick responses and very helpful. The apartment was in perfect location and was ideal for a short term stay. Kitchen was a good size for Spain. Excellent air conditioning and WiFi. Clean and well maintained. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhoods was lively and could be a bit noisy. But that didn’t bother us a bit.

Ruzafa is lively, fun, a foodie paradise. The Mercado was amazing and right across the street. Tons of restaurants, cafes and bars.

Too many to mention.

Julie knew about a large re-constuction job happening in the flat directly above us. It went on everyday all day even the weekends!! When we asked Julie about she said that it was to be completed 2 weeks before our arrival and there was nothing she could do and would continue till mid September! We tried to find another place but everything in our budget and even beyond was booked, even with help of a Flatio rep. The flat itself was lacking TLC the bathroom has stains in the shower and broken vanity, the fridge didn't keep our items cold and the washing machine made all of our clothes super hard. We thought it was the hard water but, now we now live in our flat just a few streets away and our laundry comes out soft. But the worst thing was that NONE of the window locked and had no striping. So, we heard everything that was happening outside all the time.

It's a party area!

My wife, our small children, and I arrived at the apartment and discovered the next day a loud noise coming through the wall because renovation work had started. The host did not warn us about this. I immediately messaged him, but the noise continued every day for two weeks. The children were constantly crying and we couldn’t stay in the apartment comfortably, so we had to spend time outside. I asked them to find a solution, but they told me, “Sorry, we have no free apartments,” even though this is an agency and I could see other listings on their site. The air conditioner didn’t work at all—it leaked onto the sofa—so we were stuck in a stifling room. Giant cockroaches ran around the apartment and we had to kill them constantly. The window screens were in poor condition, so mosquitoes bit us at night. We had to turn to Flatio for help—many thanks to them! Flatio found us another apartment at a lower price where everything is great. This apartment is awful and not worth the money.

Wonderful host!
