The apartment is well situated - approx. 10/15 minute walk to La Rambla or Placa de Catalunya and we enjoyed our stay. The block seemed to be occupied by mainly private residents and we didn't have any issues with access or noise. The key hand over worked well, even though our flight was delayed and the agent had other people to see. There are plenty of local bars, shops and bakeries nearby - but the best feature of the apartment is the roof terrace which is spacious and private.
