Overall, we had a great stay. It can be a bit noisy and if you open the Windows, you may get a whiff of people smoking from outside. Having the market across the street was great and there are some great neighborhood restaurants nearby. There was a booklet with instructions on how things worked in the apartment as well as local recommendations on food and sightseeing which was very helpful. Barcelona was a little more spread out than we anticipated but the location wasn't bad at all. There were some places you could easily walk to and others were just a metro ride away.
