The location was good, not super close to the old city (Barri Gotic) but walking distance to Sagrada Familia, Passieg de Gracia and Parc Guell, and a couple blocks to the nearest Metro station. Tons of good restaurants, take away and grocery stores right out the door, including directly below the apartment. Because of this, it can be a bit noisy. We were there in winter, so it wasn’t bad with the windows closed, surprisingly not bad at all. I think older buildings have good sound proofing. But I think it would be noisy at times, mostly in the evenings, with the windows open. Luis was friendly and helpful when we had questions. The apartment is clean, a bit worn in some places (kitchen cabinets, shower) but functions fine, is comfortable and has everything needed. The beds were basic but comfortable. I slept well!
