Located in the Gothic Quarter, this apartment is walking distance to a number of attractions, as well as the metro or taxi stand.
After a week of travelling before our arrival to Barcelona, we were much delighted to find such a finely furnished apartment with a washer/dryer. Noise was light and unnoticeable during the day time, but can get loud in the early morning hours. The neighborhood is a popular destination for tourists and revellers so I think this is something that comes with staying in the Gothic Quarter. I would still recommend this flat as the location and accommodations are great.
As for the hosts, I found them most helpful and highly communicative, which can be a relief when you're in another country! Eberhard and Aurelie organized our transfers from and to the airport, both of which went quite smoothly and timely. I am quite impressed with their professionalism, promptness in replying to my questions, and attention to ensuring our stay was a good one.
