Pros: The apartment is very clean, in a nice building with a good lift. The bed is very comfortable and the hot water is great. All of the appliances--dishwasher, clothes washer stove etc. work well. The terrace is pretty with all of the plants. communication with Eleanora was easy and she was very responsive. the neighborhood is great--not touristy at all.
Con: It is noisy! All day long you hear the playing of children and adults down in the Placa. There is some strange sound physics happening because it is louder on the terrace than downstairs in the square. At night, you can close the motorized shutters and get quiet enough for good sleeping but I found the noise level a distraction and rarely used the terrace because of it.
