We loved our week in this lovely apartment. The building is quite old and has many charming architectural attributes but the apartment has been recently renovated and is totally up to date. We used the kitchen for several breakfasts and found it to be nicely equipped. We used and appreciated the washer and dryer. We were in Barcelona during a major heat wave and wished for a ceiling fan in the bedroom that does not have one but that probably would not matter the other 51 weeks of the year. The air conditioning was a blessing! Great recommendations were provided for restaurants in the neighborhood.....we loved every one we tried, and that was most of the list. It is easy to get a taxi from this location and we found the taxi service to be great and very reasonably priced. Agus told us we could walk around the block and find everything we needed and that is totally true! The apartments in the building are occupied by permanent residents so you can expect all the noises that come with family living but the sounds from the very busy street are not a problem. We give the apartment a hearty recommendation! The hosts were easy to communicate with and were prompt with all their responses. Two thumbs up!
