The apartment is very well outfitted. Pepe was very good at showing us all the amenities. It is perfect for those wanting to explore Barcelona. It is very close to a metro station and the pedestrian walking area with restaurants, etc. We felt very safe. It is on a very busy street, but the apartment is in the back so there is no traffic. The only noise is coming from a local school playground - but it is happy noise so it is not bad at all. There was construction going on in the flat next door, but luckily the noise wasn't very loud and the smell of paint was diffused by opening the windows for a bit. We would highly recommend this apartment and would use it again in the future.
