The location was excellent, centrally situated in the gothic quarter, with great noise protection when the windows were closed. Even with the Eurocup going on we heard practically nothing! It was quite clean, though some age showing in the bathroom, especially the shower tiles. The AC didn’t work for our entire stay and communication was quite slow. Eventually someone came to check it and while the remote began functioning the AC still didn’t work and during the summer BCN is warm which definitely made it a bit less comfortable. The host offered for us to move locations but we preferred not to move to a different part of the city. The prior reviews about small pillows were also accurate so if you like a lot of cushion when you sleep, come prepared! We really loved being able to walk out the door and roam the medieval streets and despite some small discomforts had an overall amazing time!
