It is a fantastic space off a Main Street with lots of floors so expect noise outside and within the building. The minimalist approach to the apartment is appreciated- is has most basic needs met. Great air conditioning, roomy and perfect for families. If you want extra towels or blankets or pillows, I’d advise to arrange that upon arrival, as getting staff to respond and deliver towels to us never happened and we didn’t want to wait around to use the shared between floor washer/dryer because we are explorers. Overall, good stay.

The 3 bedroom unit is very small. Outside of the unit constantly smells like garbage and they ask you to throw your garbage away in the bins located on the street. The place needs maintenance as all walls were severely marked up and mold in the bathroom. Not sure the last time the top comforter was cleaned. The couch was so bad I would not sit on it. The highlight of the place is the balcony for the view. Right across the street is a nightclub that you can hear until 2am.

The property was a great size for a family of four. Overall, the apartment was clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. The bedroom mattresses were comfortable and in good condition.

The automatic shutters were a nice feature too. It is in a busy city, so complete silence should not be expected.

The staff were very helpful, though I’d recommend using Google Translate or speaking with the doorman, who does not work for Factory but was extremely helpful and speaks both English and Spanish.

The kitchen was also well equipped and clean.

Areas for improvement

The upper glazed window pane in the living room appears to have shifted, allowing outside noise in.

The boiler/hot water system needs attention. We had to run the sink taps on full hot for around 10 minutes before using the showers. The apartment has a small private boiler, and the pilot light can go out, requiring it to be unplugged and plugged back in.

One of the toilets stopped refilling during our stay, although there were two toilets available.

Overall great place to stay and super convenient. The apartment was exceptionally clean, spacious, and located perfectly for exploring Barcelona. We really enjoyed the layout and the convenience of the area.

The only significant drawback was the shower. The water temperature fluctuated constantly, only staying warm for about 30 seconds at a time, and the showerhead handle wouldn't stay in place, sliding down during use. We reported this to the owner on day one; they mentioned they would look into it, though the issue persisted during our stay. If these plumbing and fixture issues were resolved, we would love to stay here again.

The place is advertised as 4 star, it definitely isn't. One of the baseboards of the living room had no support and would flex every time someone stepped on it. There was no light in the shower, and a lot of mildew in the corners. Apartment had very basic amenities - functional, but basic. None of these represent 4 star status. The main thing working for this place is its convenient location, not much more than that.

The apartment is spacious for a large city apartment and in a great location, but it is totally neglected.
Beds are ancient, original windows which are not sound proofed, filthy curtains which provide little blockage of the sunlight, sticky dining table.
But most worrying of all was the electrical safety. First the toaster was faulty and dropped the main electricity supply switch everytime it was used (was replaced). Then the cooker (which we did not use) started beeping so I checked for the isolation switch (a legal requirement in the EU) to switch it off...not only was there no isolation switch but I found the cooker's cables connected to the mains cable without even a socket cover... an exposed cable connection behind the kitchen cabinet.
Not knowing what other horrors there may have been, we considered the apartment unsafe and used equipment to the minimum.

We were surprised by how spacious the room was for Barcelona standards - plenty of room to spread out, which was a big plus in a compact city.

The apartment space is in a safe, quiet area, but there’s no 24/7 staffed reception or cleaning, and you even take your trash out of the building yourself. Fortunately, if check-in is inconsistent, you can enter the building code.

The entryway is sterile and bare (likely for security since it’s not always manned), but there’s an elevator, which is handy. Air conditioning is available, but it’s locked at a low temperature.

The keys are a major frustration: escape-room quality at best, making quick access in an emergency impossible. Sheets are too small for the queen bed. Overall, spacious and safe for the price.

The property was great, very clean, comfortable, had a washer and dryer, which was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful during check-in. Our only complaint was that it was very hard to get in touch with the staff prior to 3pm check-in time. We fly in overnight and arrived in the city at 7am. We wanted to store our luggage before check-in but all of our calls, messages when unanswered, since thereis only a phone number to call for check-in. Please note if you plan to arrive before 3pm. Otherwise I highly recommend this property.

We had a mishap with the key. We left one of the copies on the door from the inside by mistake. We were charged € 96 to have the door opened.
Very unpleasant result. The door to the two bedrooms and the two bathrooms did not work properly. We reported them and got no solution nor an answer to the problem. But Factory did charge me €96 for leaving the key on the door. We were taxed on day one with €6.87 per person per night. According to the Expedia website we had to pay only €6.27 per person per night and children under 17 are not supposed to pay this tax. The Factory Apartments charged me for the minor too!!
Very disappointed, considering we trusted the brand and traveled across the Atlantic for a nice vacation.
The rest was ok. Pretty nice interiors and good distribution. Needs a lot of work on the interior doors. Upgrading the door lock is a must. The security risk involving a key to open the apartment door from the inside can be a huge problem during an emergency. Although safety and security of your family has no price, definitely one expects more on this issue considering the price paid.
If the brand doesn’t amend I would definitely not even consider staying at their place again.

KEEP LOOKING! Poorly operated facility by very unprofessional people. Arrived 3 hours before check in and told to come back at noted time. When we arrived they were working on our unit and told us it would be another hour. At this point we were exhausted from an overnight flight and demanded they allow access. The work ended up taking another 2 hours. Later in our stay our AC stopped working and they could not get it back on line remotely (no one on site) and we had to suffer through a day and a half in the 95 degree heat. Same night the only elevator breaks and we had to climb 5 flights of stairs to get to our unit. On top of that, they lost power to parts of the building and there were no lights. Trips up and down the stairs were in total darkness. Efforts to get resolution were challenged by limited access and poor communication (English). Eventually moved to a new unit on our last night because they could not resolve the AC, but too little too late in my opinion. No other accommodation was offered given our multiple inconveniences. Should not be a Travelocity listing.

Mildew on showers and no clothes dryer

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment in 2A facing the main boulevard.

Pros
-Very large apartment. Plenty of space to spread out in a large comfortable couch.
- comfortable bed. It is on the soft side but I like it that way.
- It feels like a European apartment with the high ceilings, balcony, and is nicely decorated.

Cons
- It did not feel clean. Shower has MILDEW/MOLD that could use a good bleach scrubbing. The floors didn't feel that clean.
- Main bedroom faced the main boulevard and it was very noisy with the cars going by; it does not have double paned windows. The smaller bedroom faced an inner courtyard and was quiet.
- They have a washing machine but NO DRYER. We asked about this and they said our unit does not include a dryer and was forced to use a drying rack to hang up our clothes.
- Unclear on the checking process. We had emailed ahead of time but received no response.

Overall, it was ok but would probably not stay here again.

Apartment in Barcelona

The location is good and the unit itself is updated and comfortable. It was clean and fairly well stocked (no hot pads, no turner, salt but no pepper). All the appliances are new and convenient. Non-European visitors will have a difficult time trying to figure out how to work them. The terrace is very spacious. It would be helpful to have hooks for towels. The only problem we had was at check in. The building door was locked and although there was a phone number posted, it did not work. No one was available until 2:20 although the website says someone would be at the desk. Check out was easy.
