Carles's apartment is very conveniently located in the heart of the L'Eixample neighborhood. A bus stop is at the corner to conveniently take you to Sagrada Familia, and the apartment is only a few short blocks from the metro. The Nespresso maker in the kitchen is a welcome touch -- each morning, we enjoyed a cup of coffee or two before getting started with our day. We did not find the noise from the restaurant below to be a problem, like a couple of other reviewers mentioned. Yes, it is true that the restaurant is right below the apartment and is open until late, but the apartment itself is 4 stories up, and the sounds that you hear from the front bedroom are not atypical for an apartment in a big city. We put our children in the front bedroom, turned on a white noise app just in case, and they both slept soundly.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay here again!
