We loved our apartment right in the center of the hub bub of the town but high enough (4th floor) to be away from the street noise. The rooms and bathrooms were perfect, comfortable and with modern elements. The kitchen had all the appliances and items we needed to "eat in" if we chose to do so. The location itself was close to everything we needed including shops and restaurants. Having the elevator open right at the front door was definitely a bonus as we travelled with my 92-year-old mother-in-law. The back part of the apartment was its own separate suite which is ideal for traveling with kids or two couples. We hope to return soon and will recommend this apartment to everyone we know traveling to Barcelona.
