The apartment itself was nice and very well equiped for our 9 day stay in Barcelona. Alex was super nice and accommodated very well our early arrival, we appreciated this a lot! The second bedroom is quite small but I found it comfortable even if the bed is kind of a sleeper sofa. We could hear quite a lot the footsteps of the family upstairs each morning, and the courtyard in the middle of the buildings is very echo so as soon as the neighbors leave their windows open we can hear a little too well! I would recommend earplugs for light sleepers. It is a little far from the center but Badal metro station is just a couple of minutes walk away.
