The apartment has its pros and cons for sure. Overall its a good choice. pros: great location(right beside the Boqueria), beds are ok. good communication with host. Cons: need to check-in/pick up keys far away from location, the apt floor was really dirty (they came next day to clean after requested), the floor has little tiles missing and/or completely loose, problem with ants on the kitchen counter, they really need a new sofa.. it is terrible! you need to take the trash out to public waste bin/dumpster a block away from the apt. The noise outside you will really only notice when going to bed at night but nothing too bad.
