Choosing a place to stay is always a little hit and miss... I've been thinking about what to write while staying here and about what others have written and what I was looking for when trying to find a place to stay. Victor's place is 'the perfect place' but I can easily understand how for others it might not feel that way. This is dependent not on the apartment itself but on the folks who choose to stay here and what their natural inclination is when staying in the city. The apartment is absolutely 100% functional with working kitchen, elevator (although it will provide ample 'atmospheric' flashbacks if you've ever been stuck in an elevator), and wifi, etc in an impressively animated part of town. Flor is super nice and easy to reach if anything is needed. So really all in all no complaints. The key question though is this: when would you like to sleep, how would you like to spend your days/nights? I can say that during my stay the noise level was intense daily until about 3am. During the day there was construction close enough to feel as if the drilling was within the same room however I did not get the impression this was a long term project - likely just a bit of repair going on somewhere nearby. During the night, as others have noted there's a non-stop party that seems to intensify until about 3am... then it lessens a little... 10am is a perfect hour for a little solitude/reflection. If you are sensitive to noise, I would advise not another apartment as you won't find a better one nearby but to stay in a different neighborhood. If you like a vibrant lifestyle and being around the La Rambla location then this place is pretty cool, very amiable and offered at a decent price.
