A very nice bright apartment in a classic building near the Rambla de Catalunya. We worried a bit about street noise, but in the end the indoor wood shutters in the windows cut off the sounds. The place has high ceilings and was recently renovated in a tasteful, ikea-style fashion. Nice touches like a tin of coffee for the espresso machine. Gloria was very helpful and responsive. Not a cheap place, but you do get your money’s worth.
