The apartment is as described and seen in the photos. Initially I was worried that the street it is on (ground floor) would be a busy and loud one, but that proved not to be true. In fact, the cars that come down the street are often taxis, which is very convenient--but so too is Barcelona's easy-to-navigate subway system, which is a six-minute walk from the apartment. The location is great--away from the noise and bother of places that cater primarily to tourists and within walking distance of some of the most mind-blowing lay lively night life I have every seen. I highly recommend staying here. Oh, and the knives provided in the kitchen cut fairly well, something I'm finishing one can't count on in every apartment available via Airbnb.
