Our family (2 parents, 4 adult kids) stayed in late December-early January. The location was perfect (2 blocks from the Metro). We were near wonderful restaurants and had access to several markets. This place was a great combination of residential but still feeling that we were part of the nightlife that Barcelona is famous for. Most of the major sites were less than a 15 minute ride on the Metro. A few nights were a bit noisy, but that was to be expected and quite frankly, part of the charm of this area. Stay here!
