We stayed four nights in this charming location that is close to Old Town, La Rambla and other attractions yet is not overrun with tourists. Within one block is a pedestrian only street full of restaurants and tapa bars, which made it very convenient. The layout of the apartment is perfect for a couple - spacious kitchen and living room, a good-sized bedroom, a nice bedroom with attractive tiles and hardwood flooring. Because of the bars and restaurants nearby , it can get quite noisy; there are residents who have placed signs that admonish people to tone down the noise to let others sleep. However, with windows closed, noise is muted somewhat.
