The appartment is situated right by Sagrada Familia which is very noisy all through the day and night but great location in some ways. Bedrooms adequate but bathroom very small. Great place if you are coming to Barcelona for a few days and travelling light.
I had a very unfortunate arrival at Sylvia's: the friend I was travelling with was not at the agreed meeting place at Barcelona airport so I arrived at Sylvia's late and alone. I was told off for being late, for being noisy carrying luggage up the steep stairs and constantly questioned about where my friend was. She is fact had her bag snatched and had no phone, no passprt and no money!
Carol arrived the next day and she and Sylvia developed a good friendship. I was unable to overcome the hostility of my welcome and even though Sylvia was kind offering drinks I was very happy to leave.
