The apartment was as described. The bed was hard and so were the pillows. The area is very busy in June but you couldn’t really hear if the windows were closed. It’s pretty close to the beach and there is lots of shops and bars around . Be careful of taxi drivers ripping you of in Barcelona . Nothing to do with the apartment just a note. Barcelona is a very busy city in June. We would have liked a bit of information on what to do and some tips but were not given any advice. That was a bit disappointing as it was our first time and we definitely needed it. For that reason it would be better to stay in the hotel .
