The location of this apartment was perfect. We could walk to almost everything within 30 mins, we would just walk around the corner and we were in Vila de Gracia. We loved the top floor as it was quiet (at least until the construction started) and the apartment was filled with light. The terrace was a real bonus along with a little room off the bedroom with a desk and lots of closet space.
The only thing that was not a positive experience was that the last week of our stay construction work started about us and on scaffolding right out our windows that was loud and created dust and debris that made us have to keep our windows closed and towels over our bathroom window for privacy. We did not contact Monica about it as we figured there was nothing she could do, but at the same time we think she should have told us ahead of time that it was going to happen.
So overall we loved the place and would stay there again if the construction was finished.
