amazingly located apartment. great ice cream place around the corner, walk to Garcia neighborhood, big high end shopping district around the corner and easy to get to the big barcelona sights. be aware you are living in a city so from out back you will get an expected amount of background people noise (for us it was a baby crying); the other renters around us played some music late a night which was easy to hear through the walls but not too disruptive. the views are mostly of walls but if it opened onto the street you’d likely get a lot of street noise. overall—clean, spacious, nicely lit apt with the management team in an office downstairs.
