Lovely back apt. No noise and still right on la Rambla. Great for a family of 4. Our boys had their own bedroom and beds. Train station right downstairs. At the end of la Rambla so less crowded and safe. Groceries stores around the corner. Easy access to the marcado boqueria a must when in Barcelona, the gothic quarter easy stroll and easy walk to the water. Lots to do there. Avoid the restaurants on la Rambla. Head by train towards Barcelonica. Not as many tourist, food is good and mostly authentic.
Unlikely you will meet Joan but he communicates well and his lovely colleague Mar was wonderfully welcoming.
Enjoy
