This is a fantastic location, close to everything you want in Barcelona, but the apartment itself faces a quiet courtyard, and the balcony is a peaceful retreat from the activity of the city. Little extras in the apartment made our stay very enjoyable. Angeles was a fabulous host with quick and clear communication. It was also extremely clean. If you stay here, be sure to dine at the Tapas bar right on the corner at Urgell. Excellent tapas.
