The flat is excellently situated for all the main Barcelona attractions. Located on one of the major thoughfares, it is inevitably noisy but the hostal opposite also added to noise levels at night. The wi-fi and heating (it was winter) were excellent. However, the apartment looked a little tired, clearly lacking regular maintenance checks. Plumbing was an issue with two of the three toilets having flushing problems and some sinks being slow to drain. Overall, our experience was positive. The apartment provided us with a good base.
