Arina made us feel very welcome with a basket of wine and chocolates on arrival. The apartment looked just as amazing as it does in the photographs. The area is very quiet. A group of 5 stayed here for the Primavera Sound festival. After some over-exuberance on the 1st night, we kept any noise down to a respectful level for the remainder of the holiday - this was due to arriving home very late from the festival and heading straight for bed! In summary, I would recommend this apartment, but only if you're not wanting to have late night parties for the duration of your vacation.
