Great location! While less than a block from Plaza Real, the apartment itself was very quiet even while the Plaza was busy and vibrant with street performers in the evenings. It was so much more spacious than if our family of 4 had been stuck in a hotel room. With Las Ramblas a few minutes away, we were able to walk to everything plus find great coffee, bakery, pizza, etc. just a short walk away. I'll also give a shout out to the young man at the lobby desk - he was incredibly helpful when Iberia lost our luggage and he spent a good chunk of time talking with them on the phone as my Spanish wasn't up for the task; much appreciated!
