Matthew C. 2011/08/30	Mapamundo is a great place, especially if you are looking for a private room. The rooms seem very roomy and there is a nice kitchen as well. It can be a little loud at night, but they provide free earplugs! The staff is incredibly nice.	overall: 89% Atmosphere: 4 Location: 4 Facilities: 5 Staff: 5 Cleanliness: 4 Value For Money: 4 Security: 5

Yulia a. 2011/04/20	Location is amazing. The only downside was that our room was at the top of the building, 5 floors to go without elevator. Nice host. A bit noisy on weekend (there is a pub close), but not a big problem with earplugs. Will stay there again!	overall: 95% Atmosphere: 5 Location: 5 Facilities: 4 Staff: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value For Money: 5 Security: 4

Raminta e. 2011/04/07	Excellent location! Very central and close to the main attractions! On arrival, the host gave us loads of tips and advice on what to see and where to go which we found extremely useful. We would highly recommend this place.	overall: 89% Atmosphere: 4 Location: 5 Facilities: 5 Staff: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Value For Money: 4 Security: 5

The kitchen is pretty well stocked, and if you head to the Boqueria you can cook up quite a feast and save money on dining out. The room was large, but it lacked heat. Which may not be such a big deal during warmer weather outside, but when we were there, it was raining and cold outside. So when we came in to dry off, well it was always cold. The bed was comfortable. To turn on the hot water, there is a loud generator you must turn on. In consideration of the other people who are staying in the apartment it is essential to coordinate schedules as potentially seven people will be sharing the bathroom. The apartments are on two levels and are at least three flights of stairs, which is fine if you are traveling light. While it is within short walking distance to major attractions, it faces a bar that let's just say the patrons aren't really respectful of the neighbors around. It is very loud until the wee hours of the morning (even during the week!), so bring some silicone ear plugs which will help out some. The guy who checked us in was nice and explained the area. But we never had our towels replenished after two days, which normally would not have been a problem but the towels never dried completely because the room was always cold. You must pay in cash at check in. Read less ▲	overall: 58% Atmosphere: 3 Location: 2 Facilities: 3 Staff: 3 Cleanliness: 3 Value For Money: 3 Security: 3
Christine 2011/03/21	very close to the main subway line. staff were very helpful. sharing 1 bathroom amongst people staying in 4 separate rooms however is a bit of a stretch. there were several times when i or others had to wait to use the restroom.	overall: 78% Atmosphere: 4 Location: 4 Facilities: 4 Staff: 5 Cleanliness: 3 Value For Money: 4 Security: 3
