The place and our stay was amazing!! The pictures of the apartment are identical to what the place is actually like. It was very clean and well kept. it was a hot time of year to visit and the AC was a nice relief. The apartment was in the city centre and very close to many unique parts of the city such as El Born (5 minute walk). It was very close to all forms of public transportation (metro, buses, taxi, etc.) and close to some attractions such as the Arc De Triomf. The noise from the vehicles as mentioned by some comments wasn’t bad at all. It gets quieter at night relative to the day. Lots of great food spots within a 1km radius. Tons of markets and coffee shops along the street. Jose, the manager we checked in with, was very accommodating and tried his best to keep in contact before our arrival. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone who is visiting Barcelona. Thanks for everything Jose and Oscar!
