The location of this apartment is perfect, literally in the center of Barcelona, and even if its located at a lively road, inside the apartment its very quiet and you cannot hear any noise. You have plenty of shops, nice restaurants and bars around. Even there are bus and metro station near, we just went everywhere walking. Anne has literally thought of everything a guest might need! The apartment is comfortable, clean, and very well appointed. I would absolutely stay here again. This host was a great host- very responsive and available to answer questions. 5 star apartment for sure!
