We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and responded to quickly if there was an issue. The hosts are professional, friendly and helpful. The quality of the apartments were what we expected and we were very satisfied with our stay. The location was very good for our purpose as it is close to Fira Barcelona Gran Via. It can get quite noisy at night, especially on Friday and Saturday nights because of the bar in the corner. On the up side the bar/restaurant is apparently well-loved by the residents. At night the waste removal trucks empty the garbage reservoirs, which can be noisy but these are temporary. The area Sants seems to be part of the old fabric of Barcelona ans as such there is a lingering wiff of sewage as you walk around the area, as is in many other large cities. There are some quaint corners and the market is right at the back street of where the apartments are. All in all Anima apartments satisfied our needs and we are happy to go back there again.
