Anabel’s place is absolutely wonderful. It is the perfect location for your Barcelona visit. Directly on Carrer de Ferran, a mainly pedestrian only street, you are minutes away from Las Ramblas, and the neighborhoods of Born, and Raval. The apartment itself is fantastic. The living room boasts large windows that open onto the balcony, perfect for people watching with a nice bottle of wine. The bedroom is set much further back past the kitchen and (modern-styled bathroom) so noise is really not an issue. We actually had to put a white noise app on to sleep some of the time and I’m a light sleeper. Don’t forget though, you are on one of the busiest streets with people walking by at all hours of the night. So you should expect some level of noise once or twice. For this, you get arguably the perfect location, within walking distance of everywhere in the old city, as well as Barceloneta. There are plenty of metro stops within a 5-10 min walk as well to get you to some of the other neighborhoods.
On arrival we were greeted by Juan Carlos who was super friendly, and walked us through the entire apartment. He gave us some tips for walking around and restaurant suggestions. More importantly, he left us a bottle of wine. ;)
Great stay overall, would definitely want to stay here again. Excellent place if your first time to Barcelona.
