This is a very good apartment for families. It is large, stretching from the front of the building to the back. The living room looks onto the street and the master bedroom over the courtyard. Only these two rooms have much natural light. The double glazing is effective in eliminating most street noise. The Catalan Modernist decoration blends well with the contemporary features - two good bathrooms etc. It is a comfortable and well equipped apartment with lots of cutlery, dishes and cookware in the kitchen. (though the dish washer was not efficient). Mar provided us with a DVD player when requested - we had discs with us as there are no English language channels on the TV and with small children we were not out much in the evenings. At present there is building work very close to the apartment, but work does not start until 8am and finishes at 5. This did not bother us but might if people are hoping to sleep late! There is no noise at the weekend. I would recommend this apartment to families.
