Kike's apartment is situated in the Gothic Quarter & all facilities, bars/shops/tapas bars etc, are within 30 seconds walk. The apartment is large & overlooks the street via the balcony; it really is comfortable & street noise is not excessive for a vibrant area. Kike was very welcoming & hospitable but also discreet. We didn't use the kitchen but it wouldn't have been a problem to do so. We would certainly return. As previously reported, there are about 80 stairs up to the apartment but after the initial ascent with a heavy bag it wasn't a problem.
