The location is great as it's just steps away from La Rambla. There are many parking garages close to the apartment, which is convenient if you come by car. There are also some second-hand (Humana on career de l'Hospital), vintage stores, and flea markets every other weekend during summer, where you may find great bargains. Everything in the apartment functions well: the heater is very strong. Hot water never runs out. One of the drawbacks is the constant urine smell, as the neighborhood is full of homeless people who pee everywhere. Considering living with such miseries, I feel the rental amount is set too high.
