21par1005 - Beautiful Apartment in Paral-lel

I find it really interesting that the owners of this property have a mulitple pages long list about what not to do at the apartment and what you can be fined up to 500 Euros for. Disrespecting neighbors, loud talking/shouting in the staircase, music/parties at night, etc. were all reasons to be fined, but we heard a lot of people talking and shouting in Spanish/Catalan but also English at unreasonable times almost every night, doing exactly what is forbidden in that meter long house rule list. Like I remember one night when I stayed in the apartment the whole day, because I got a cold from the A/C, I was trying to sleep at 10pm but I could not fall asleep, because of constant loud noise in the staircase and had to stay awake until 3am. I lost my earphones on the first day on the way to the apartment and it turned out to be the most devastating loss at the most devastating time, because I had trouble sleeping every night in this apartment without them. Drunk (and I guess sometimes also sober) people came into the apartment building at least every hour at night, even at times like 2/3/4/5am. I had to go buy earplugs in a pharmacy, because the apartment is also very very poorly sound proofed, which makes the staircase noise issue even worse. When inside two of the bedrooms it sounds like the windows to the staircase are open even if they are fully closed. The street noise on the other side of the apartment (where one bedroom is located) is really loud at all times too, so the lack of sound proofing is an issue in the whole property. So I would only recommend this apartment to groups of people who are partying and/or drinking every night because falling asleep here is a real challenge when you‘re sober and have nothing to plug your ears with

The road was quite noisy, but that is beyond your control!

Really small bathroom and shower, and not that comfortable apartment for more than 2 people. Small elevator, only for luggage or two people.
