As indicated by the favorable reviews this lovely appartment was light, airy, spacious and spotless. It is well located for visiting Barcelona. JB welcomed us warmly and offered good suggestions for our visit. While we did not notice any noise from the street below the same cannot be said for the building itself. The lift is noisy especially from the back bedroom and there was a constant stream of people coming and going all night,every night. All highly audible from the vestible and on the stairs.So this is not a good choice for those who are light sleepers even with ear-plugs. If you are sound sleepers the appartment is a fine choice.
