The place is very close the Pl. Catalunya and Urquinaona metro station was just around the corner. There are a lot of nice restaurants/cafes/bars around. Gothic area is in walking distance. The flat itself is nice, clean and was enough for 3 person. If you are worried about noise outside, remember that this is a very active area but we didn't have any difficulties about sleeping or anything. Overall we were really happy with Claudia's flat and would definitely recommend and come again.
