All in all we had a great stay in Bente`s apartment. The communication with Bente and Fran was very good beforehand and during our stay. All our questions were answered. Because of the other feedbacks, we took earplugs with us. During the night we closed the windows to the street and opened the terrace door a little bit for fresh air. So we didn`t hear the cars on the streets. The windows are double isolated. Still, we needed the earplugs one night, because the rain drops sounded like ping-pong balls on the kitchen roof.
The area is really nice with cafès(I can recommend the cappuccino&croissants across the street), bars("Betlem" was really nice for cava&tapas) and supermarkets around the corner. You can walk or take the metro (they have a really good working metro system) to all the attractions. Barcelona and Bente`s apartment are worth a visit.
