The apartment was just as described by the host. Perfect situated in the nice Poble Sec area. La Rambla was a 15-20 minute walk away. Also very close to public communication, both bus and metro. The neighbors were very nice, one of them even asked us if we would wait in the hallway while we were waiting for the host (it was hot outside...). The large area in the private backyard was perfekt for long breakfasts and relaxation in the evening. Even though the apartment is situated quite near a busy road, the only sound in the backyard was from the birds and the neighbors open windows. Very charming.
And the bedrooms was quiet as well, no sounds from the traffic. We strongly recommend the apartment !
