This apartment is right in the centre of Barcelona, only about 200m from Las Ramblas and about 15 mins walk from the beach. It is bright (on top floor but there is an elevator), clean and there is plenty of space (five of us stayed in the apartment). The kitchen has everything you would need and the apartment has good wifi. It is a great base for a stay in Barcelona, which is an amazing city. We stayed at the end of July when the city was very busy. If you choose to stay in the centre of a city like Barcelona, you have to expect some noise during the night. There are lots of shops, restaurants, bars and clubs within walking distance. It is a very lively city and people are around almost all the time. Xavier is an excellent host and was very helpful.
