The apartment was perfect for our week on foot in Barcelona. We walked to all the sites we wanted to see and were able to easily use the Hop on Hop Off bus to see a few things farther out. Just note, as in many cities we've visited, there is a lot of road and general construction, so there will be noise during the day, but it did not bother us and they didn't start too early so didn't interrupt our sleep. The apartment is very comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend this host and apartment!
