We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the location of this apartment. The location was why we stayed here. The lively square with lots of restaurants was on one side and Las Ramblas on the other side of the building. Even though the location is lively, we did not hear any noise and had a wonderful sleep on the comfortable bed. The waterfront, with the Christopher Columbus monument, is a 5 min walk away. We could see the monument and Las Ramblas from our roof top balcony. The apartment is very basic and very clean. The bedroom is very comfortable and the bathroom a nice size. This apartment has stairs to the kitchen. We really enjoyed this apartment for exploring Barcelona. There are lots of taxis outside and the subway is very close by. Such a wonderful location for exploring.
