Jacques place was very conveniently located in a nice residential area. The apartment was very spacious and clean and the beds were pretty comfortable, which is always a relief. Jacques was always very quick to respond to questions or concerns. The apartment was VERY spacious, which was nice, since there were 7 of us (including 4 children). There's a Mercadona right down the street and plenty of restaurants and cafes/bars in the area. We walked all over the city easily from the apartment. The only negative was the street noise. It wasn't terrible, and keep in mind that Barcelona is a city. I sleep with earplugs, so that helped. The apartment has the charm of old and interesting architecture (high ceilings, beautiful medallion detail, etc.), but did not have newer windows, which would've reduced the city street noise.
