This apartment is right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, with easy walking access to many other desirable parts of the city. We felt some basic amenities to be lacking, for example the linens and towels could use an upgrade, and the hot water in the shower (hand-held shower head only) never lasted more than 1-2 minutes at a time. In addition, Barcelona’s party atmosphere was evident in the streets and alleys around the apartment, and we were repeatedly approached by men trying to sell drugs on our walks back to the apartment after dark.
Inside the apartment was very quiet and comfortable (you could not hear any of the noise from the busy street below), and the terrace was a beautiful place to enjoy some wine and the views of the city. Rosa and her family were very accommodating and responsive.
