This apartment was very nice and in a great location. You can walk south and head into the gothic quarter or north into Eixample for some great restaurants and shopping. It's steps away from the Uriquanoa metro station and a short walk to Catalunya. The apartment is on a busy street so it will be loud if you leave the windows open. However, when closed the noise was minimal and did not bother us. The blinds are double sided so when closed they completely block the exterior light which was great for sleeping. The air conditioning unit was in the living room so we had to leave the bedroom door open to keep this room cool at night too. The bed was firm memory foam which I found comfortable but my partner did not; just a matter of preference. The bed size felt equivalent to an American Queen. The apartment was easy to access with a number keypad for the main door and a lockbox next to the apartment door to retrieve the keys. Overall, I would recommend this place for your stay in Barcelona!
