This is a wonderful, well-located apartment with easy access to metro a few feet from building and within short walking distance from major bus lines. The owner, Adriana, is a cultured, creative, lovely person. Her compelling black and white photographs grace walls in the apartment and the space is simply and tastefully furnished, radiates peaceful energy, and is fully equipped. Very easy to live here-- the kitchen has lots of pots and pans and all the needed equipment (including a strainer for pasta/colander-- thank you!) and the living and dining space is light and airy. Charming balcony off living room. It is true that there is a bit of street noise, but street noise is a widespread issue in Barcelona in general-- it's one of the most population-concentrated cities in Europe. Great strolling around the neighborhood and being so close to Passeig de Gracia. Communication was always responsive and quick; Adriana was very helpful. I highly recommend this home and its owner.
