The apartment was perfectly placed close to Plaza Reyal and 10 minutes walking distance to Plaza Catalunya. We took a taxi to and from the airpot which costed 30 euro each way. The apartment was in second floor with 3 steps to walk or an elevator. There were shops and bakeries in the neighborhood. We had som noise from the above apartment, but nothing from the street. Since we were only 4 persons it worked OK with only one bathroom.
