I had a great experience staying here! I traveled to Barcelona with my 19 month old son, and this place was a very good fit for us. The location is amazing - it allowed us to walk everywhere we wanted to go (12 min to Placa Catalunya/Las Ramblas and 20-30min to the beach/aquarium). Arc de Triumph is right outside, the photos in the listing are really the views from the balcony. It's located on a big street, which is good because I felt safe with always a lot of people around and because there are lots of places to eat super close but negative because it was loud late into the night. The noise isn't crazy, just cars and people talking, I imagine it wouldn't bother someone who's from a big city. We are used to total quiet at home so here we slept with the window shut, which worked well, but caused it to be stuffy and warm inside. There is a fan to help. Also the curtains keep all the light out, which is fantastic for trying to sleep in. We cooked breakfast at home, kitchen is tidy and has everything needed. The whole apartment is totally spotlessly spectacularly clean! Sergio was barely around so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and when we did see him he checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I also really appreciated that it's just us and Sergio in the apartment, that way we knew exactly who we're staying with (as opposed to other Airbnb's where there are multiple rooms rented out). Overall really great, definitely recommend!
