The apartment is as described - be aware that it is on a fifth floor (they call it third floor in Barcelona, but it's a fifth floor) the apartment does not have AC and it gets extremely hot in the summer as it receives direct sunlight - the area is very touristy and full of bars and restaurants but the apartment has great insulation and you wont hear much of the noise (or at least I did not). Also be aware that the apartment is next door to a church and the bells ring every 15 minutes, which can be either very charming or very annoying. The apartment is comfortable and charming, I would stay there again but probably not in the summer as it was very hot.
