The location was great, we enjoyed being able to walk over La Boqueria to get cheap food for breakfast or lunch. The only flaw would be that there was not air conditioning, luckily Barcelona has great winds so we were left the balcony open 24 hrs. It was just a little hot when getting ready, so a lot of moments sitting in front of the fan. Not to big of a deal, but just to keep in mind. Since the balcony was always open, noise was more of an issue. I would still highly recommend staying at Gianluca's place.
