We had a great stay at Susan's apartment as a couple with a 4-year-old. It's clean, cosy and stylish, has everything you need, and the building is full of character. Sparkling wine and chocolate were a lovely touch! There are lively tapas bars, restaurants and a well known churros place in close proximity. On Sunday evening (we stayed Sunday to Wednesday) though it meant chatter and laughter outside till 12 or possibly later. The windows are thin glass. But it wasn't as noisy on weekdays, plus we decided to move our son's bedtime forward, so didn't have trouble sleeping for the rest of our stay. The location is great - we enjoyed walking the streets of Barri Gotic, with our son using his scooter. There are small playgrounds in several squares as well. The seafront is 10-15 minutes away, and the beach of Barceloneta - around 25-30, and it's a very pleasant walk. Ciutadella park is something like 15-20 mins walk. The walk to Paral.lel station (where you can get funicular to Montjuic) is around 15 mins. We bought a 10 journey ticket to use between us on funicular (and later metro - to go to Sagrada Familia), it's cheaper than singles and doesn't expire on the same day. All and all it was a lovely trip and we're very grateful to Susan for welcoming us at her place.
