The apartment was located in a quiet, residential building in a safe neighborhood. Felt comfortable walking home, even in the dark. Elevator made it easy to get large luggage up to the apartment. There were signs posted in the building regarding thin walls and noise coming from previous guests, but we did not hear anyone else in the building nor have any issues. There was a large pile of feces in the stairwell for several days, so make sure to use a light on your phone to illuminate the stairs if not taking the elevator. The apartment was a generously sized space, perfect for our group of 4. Paint could use retouching throughout, to cover dirt and marks made by previous guests, but otherwise the apartment appeared as presented in the photos. Advise bringing/buying laundry detergent and hand soap for your use during your stay. Would definitely recommend this apartment to friends, and would stay again when in Barcelona!
