We were pleasantly surprised to find a very clean, modern layout and good general location for exploring Barcelona. The street noise was a bit loud from the master bedroom as there is a bus stop below the window. The 2 other bedrooms were relatively quiet however. The cleaner were there to greet us and see us off. We never met the hosts but communicated with them via text messages and email. overall, we had a nice stay and would recommend this apartment to other families.
