This place is super convenient for just about everything you want to see. You will need to take the metro to some other well know sites but for walking in the Gothic area, the beach, La Rambla etc. you will be pleased. The accommodations were great for the five of us. The noise from the flats above was a bit much and made it hard to sleep in the front bedroom. The street noise was minimal but it wasn't summer peak season. There is nothing in the kitchen to help with cooking like salt, pepper etc. Also there were no coffee pods like other airbnbs I have been in which would have been a nice touch until you can get to the store to pick some up. Overall we had a nice stay and Joan who checked us in was super helpful with finding local spots for dinners. We ate at some really good restaurants.
