This is a great apartment in an excellent location. We were met in record time (reservation, payment and key delivered within 4 hours...WOW!). Sure, there is a bar next door that is audible on certain nights, but you're in Spain! Relax, it is part of the ambiance. Yes, the subway does rumble beneath the floor but, honestly, we were so tired in the evenings after a day of touring that we hardly noticed. This apartment is so convenient to downtown, local cafes, Sagrada Familia, and to the subway that we'd stay with Klaus again any time. Also, the lift to the airport was an unexpected value added service that was much appreciated.
