Richard’s place is centrally located right off La Rambla. We loved and hated the location at the same time, because of the noise level from the street at night. We loved it is right next to Boqueria and is close to many places. I read others’ reviews and knew about the noise but it was a lot worse than I thought especially on Saturday night. There were people partying right outside until 5 am. I barely slept 2 nights out of 4 night-stay. If you are sensitive with noise, this is probably not the best place for you. If not, this is a great place to explore Barcelona. Richard was also very prompt with his communication but we rarely interacted after the check-in.
