This was a wonderful apartment in an interesting neighborhood. My family of four was quite comfortable. The apartment is interior which makes it very quiet, plus there are excellent windows that block noise . The apartment is on a busy street with shops and some construction but we did not have any noise during sleeping hours, and the overhead fans in each bedroom made sleeping so pleasant (plus comfy beds and pillows). The kitchen is small but has enough equipment to make simple meals. We had some great experiences with restaurants just a few blocks away including Kriminal Street Food and Pizzaria La Palla. The shop Fresc I Verd had the best fresh fruit and a lovely shopkeeper that pointed out all the best fruits of the season. The air conditioning in the main room kept things cool during some of the hottest moments of the day. The hosts are very responsive and Carlos even marked up a paper map of the city to point out the best Tapas and other local gems. The location of the Poble Sec metro made it very east to get around the city. Overall a really nice spot and great value.
