Great place, on a big road but as the apartment is at the back of the building, you do not hear it, in fact we found it very quiet. Lovely balcony for evening drinks. Really good location, we walked back most evenings after dinner. Fantastic breakfast place opposite recommended by Phil called PetitBo. Getting taxis was never a problem and they are cheap compared to London. If you want some places to eat try El National, Paco Meralgo, Botafumerio and El Mercader de l'Example. We had amazing food at all of them, get yourself to the Gothic Quarter and finally dress up (no flip flops!) and go for cocktails at the W hotel, Eclipse bar at sunset.
