Great cozy apartment in the heart of Barceloneta. Easy walk (less than a mile to Born, Barrio Gothico, and Ramblas. Metro is about a half mile away, but everything else... beach, busses, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, vegetable market, etc. are just a few minutes walk away. This is a very quiet street in what is a very lively and fairly noisy neighborhood. Noise was not an issue during our stay at all. Kitchen has all the basics you need to cook, stove works great. Washing machine in the unit was very handy as well. Bed is firm and comfortable. Air conditioner was also much appreciated as the heat and humidity started creeping up at the end of our stay. As is typical of every building in the neighborhood, there are no elevators. There are 72 stairs and you will feel them. Take them slow and steady and you will be fine. Jarrod is a great host and very responsive. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
