At this time of the year (end of March), the sun hits the balcony around 9:15, which means you can enjoy your breakfast sitting outside, looking at the Monjuic hill -- and getting suntanned What a treat! Very clean and perfectly equipped apartment (including a travel stroller, a travel baby bed and a high chair for those of us travelling with small kids). Also, perfectly located, close to the metro and many of the most popular sights. I agree with previous comments about the noise reaching the apartment from the streets below (well into the night).
