First off, the apartment is really nice, it has been finished to a high standard and all the facilities were great. Location, for us, was excellent as it is in an area we used to live in and enjoy coming back to and is also a very short walk to lesseps metro for getting around. Check in was easy and contact with the host was good.
The issue we had was noise from the other apartments, and it's not that we had 'noisy neighbours', you just hear everything. From one of the bedrooms you can hear it is clearly next to the adjoining apartments kitchen/ living space and it's as though they are in the room with you. I don't know if these apartments have been reconfigured for rental purposes, but I've lived in and stayed in plenty of apartments in Barcelona over the years and never experienced noise travel through the walls like this. It was a massive shame really because the apartment is lovely, but for the price you are paying you really should be able to get a decent nights sleep or feel like you have any privacy to talk in your own room. If there was any any way for this problem to be solved then I'd suggest the owners look into it as reading other reviews we aren't the only people to experience this.
