Nice apartment and location was good for exploring Barcelona on foot. Security into the apartment was also good, as was check in. Small shop, liquor store, bakery and Colon restaurant a few steps away. We enjoyed listening to people in the street with the doors open in the evening. (The noise did not disturb our friends’ sleep but we found the rear bedroom noisy, other apartments’ waste/down pipes). Several entrepreneurs were visible but the police presence provided cat and mouse like entertainment. We would recommend this apartment to couples, friends rather than families with younger children.
