PLUS: The quite central location. The Encants tube station is just around the corner, there is a bus stop some 50 m away, a big grocery store at the ground floor and some nice bakeries around the block.
Carles and his mother were precise, polite and discreet.
The apartment is mostly IKEA furnished. Not exactly luxurious but it was impeccably clean and visually pleasant. Besides, it is well equipped and nothing in it was worn or shabby.
MINUS: Soundproof is not the apartment's strongest point. A kettle in the kitchen and a coat rack at the entrance would be useful.
