This is a really nicely maintained historic, true Barcelona property near the heart of the city. You can tell it must have been built for an affluent family, probably in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The apartment gets fantastic natural light from its many windows. The kitchen is unusually well-stocked — we were able to cook an entire family meal with what was provided, which is unusual for an Airbnb.
It is in the center of town, so there will absolutely be a good bit of street noise, but you’re not above any loud bar or next to a serious pedestrian area. It is a quiet street, relatively speaking.
The apartment does not have air conditioning. This is fairly typical for Barcelona and Spain, but it is a little surprising to Americans. It will be hot in the summer months. The owner provides many good fans, at least one for every room, and with those I slept fine.
The owner is very responsive.
