This place is just as you see it in AirBnB. What you can't see from the photos is what it sounds like - for somewhere this close to the action the apartment is really quiet. There was no street noise to keep us awake, or noise from any neighbours. It's on the first floor, but there's a lift to take you there.

Maria's Dad was there to meet us and show us into the apartment. Maria offered us an early check-in, so we could go there straight from the airport.

There's a left luggage place just down the road, so you can leave your bags there and still explore on your last day in Barcelona (the lockers look small). Or you could do what we did, get a luggage drop service to pick up your bags in the morning and have them waiting for you at the airport.
