The location in the Gothic Quarter is this property's best asset. It is in a fabulous location, right in among all the excitement and bustle of the Barri Goti and close to the Metro, shops and restaurants. There is a downside to this if you're a light sleeper. It was often very noisy until 3 or 4am. It didn't bother us though - it is just part and parcel of the location. Even though the building entrance is filthy and unappealing, the apartment itself is clean and well-appointed, although showing a little more wear and tear from when the photos were taken. The wi-fi works well, as does the air-conditioner, washing machine (although instructions would have been useful) and hair-dryer. We couldn't get the oven to work but the griller worked fine and who needs more when surrounded by so many great restaurants?! Bed was comfortable and linen/towels ok. We were there for 2 weeks and it was a great base to explore in and around Barcelona. Gorgeous outlook and ambiance looking out onto the courtyard/plaza.
