Welcome to Barcelona! We’re delighted to have you with us and we hope you have an amazing time staying in our flat. That being said, and at the risk of stating the obvious, here are some basic ground rules for you to follow.

Be mindful We’re not the police, nor do we want you to feel like we’re patronizing you, but we think it’s our duty to point out some common-sense stuff, as we’ve had some experiences in the past with guests who haven’t behaved so well.

Respect the neighbors. Put yourself in their shoes and keep the noise down to a minimum after 10PM. You are on holiday, but they are probably stressed about their jobs and would appreciate a good night’s sleep. We want you to have fun but to be reasonable too, and to treat others how you would want them to treat you. Also, try to avoid slamming doors and making a noise in hallways. And please try to be quiet when entering the building. It’s not hard to be a good neighbor and annoying them is only going to get you into trouble, which is something you surely don’t need when you’re on holiday. You’re also not allowed to have more guests than you stated when making your reservation.

No parties! We get it – you’re excited about being in Barcelona. But remember: the walls are thin and if you’re having a party, then so are the neighbors. And they might not be in the mood for one. Bear in mind that they may call the police to complain, which is something we all want to avoid. Any guests causing a disturbance will be asked to leave the apartment immediately. And they won’t get a refund. Sorry!

Keys and check-out Please do not leave the keys in the mailbox. If you leave earlier than your check-out time, please leave the keys on the table and pull the door shut behind you. Most flats have doors that don’t need to be locked when you leave. Incidentally, that’s something to watch out for, as it’s very easy to get locked out, which is also a bummer – take our word for it! Make sure you lock the door with the key every time you leave the flat. It’ll keep your belongings safer.

Do not smoke inside NO smoking allowed in the apartment. We care about your lungs, but if you have to do it, please step outside. We’d like to keep the flat smelling nice and fresh for our next guests.

Do not waste energy We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the apartment. We care about our planet.

Other stuff Additional cleaning, bedding, etc. can be arranged for longer stays but please make sure you request this when booking.

Tourist tax: The government of Catalonia levies a tourist tax of €6,88 per night on every person aged over 16, and for up to a maximum of seven days. The tax is a small price to pay in exchange for clean beaches, well-maintained roads, and good facilities.

Arrival Standard check-in is from 3PM to 8PM. However, we can accommodate late arrivals as well. Please note the following extra charges for late arrivals:

CHECK IN FEES MON-FRIDAY 8pm to 12am: 40€ from 12am: 60€ SATURDAY, SUNDAY and HOLIDAYS Until 8pm: 30€ from 8pm: 60€

Departure Check-out time is 11AM. You can arrange to leave your luggage in the apartment until you leave, provided that there are no other reservations pending. Note: if there’s no booking for that day, you can talk to us about arranging a later check-out (if possible).

Lost keys If you lose your keys, you’ll be charged changing the lock of the apartment. So, please try not to mislay them!

A kind request On your last day, please wash the dishes and take out the garbage.
