We had a great stay at the flat! The location is perfect for exploring the center of Barcelona and Barrio Gotic. You're right off busy Placa Reial, but you'd never know it as the flat faces into other buildings and courtyards and it's extremely quiet. We were there on New Year's eve, and even then we didn't hear a peep from the streets or plaza. The flat itself is super clean, spacious, and full of natural light. David was a fantastic host: he was easy to reach, very communicative, and extremely helpful. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and he swiftly answered our requests for more blankets and pillows. Overall, the flat is pleasant and comfortable, the location is unbeatable, and the hosts are fantastic. Everything was great, and I can't recommend it enough!
