Lucia and Lucia are great hosts with lots of advice for those new to BA. The apartment is in a tree lined street with no-through traffic. The balcony is where we spent all our evenings and meals. The train line is just next to the block of apartments but the trains were not at all noisy. We booked for 4 nights added another 4 nights and have now booked another 3 nights at the apartment in a fortnight so time. Love it here.
