The place is really good in the heart of Barcelona, from there you can access all the city and reach most of the touristic places easily. It is really close to La Rambla, one of the big touristic streets through which you can have a nice walk, go tho boqueria market and reach the sea. The neighborhood is nice, it is in a bit narrow street so not many cars go their which is an advantage, It gives you a sense feeling of the local life. The only downside is that you can hear some people in the streets at night, but it is not the noise that would prevent you from sleep and it is expected in a city as Barcelona to have people in the streets all over the day. Elena is a really awesome host. She is so kind and helpful. She responds quickly to the messages. She helped us with lots of information on how to reach her apartment even without us asking. She also gave us wonderful local tips on what to do and where to go to make the most of our visit in Barcelona. She is a great host that I would definitely recommend.
