The apartment is exactly as advertised. It is a nice, two bedroom, one bathroom apartment. It is very clean and well appointed. The one bedroom is good sized. The other room,where my 8 year old slept, was only big enough for a double bed. Perfect for him or for anyone who doesn't need much space. Also, the window covering in that room is not light blocking, so bring an eyemask if you have light sensitivity while sleeping. Light from other apartments and the kitchen shine into that bedroom at night.
The location of the place is excellent! It is one block from the Uraquinaona Metro station. You can easily walk into El Born neighborhood, the Placa Cataluyna, and El Barri Gotic. El Born and El Barri Gotic have awesome winding streets, cute shops, and restaurants. Also, there are cafes, pubs, and restaurants on the street outside the apartment. I cannot say enough about the location.
As a previous guest mentioned, you can hear the metro running below the building at night. To be honest, it did not bother us much. We got used to it. While we were there, there was a loud party in someone's apartment nearby on a Saturday night and the walls are thin in the building. I suggest earplugs for sure. It is not a complaint as I realize that the place is one of many apartments in a building and one of many buildings of which the backs of the apartments face one another. It is a city and there are a lot of people living closely together. For those of us that live in small, quiet towns, ear plugs help. We loved Barcelona and had a fantastic time. Oscar's place is great!
