Rosa was great with getting back to me with questions I had before we travelled (there were 4 adults total) and she was also accommodating with our request for early check in. The air conditioner in the living room was good and so was the WIFI. There were fans in each room, which was great because it was very hot during our stay.

The apartment is on the 1st floor. There was a bit of noise coming from the rooms facing the street. If you're an early morning person then this won't be too much of an issue for you but my travel group would have like to sleep in little. Even if it were only until 9am. Turning on the fans in the rooms helped to drawn out some of the noise from outside. For the most part the apartment was as it appears in the photos. The only thing is that some of the furniture could use some maintenance (mostly tightening/replacing missing screws). There was a basket with lots of maps and information about things to see and do in Barcelona ready for us which was very helpful.

The apartment was conveniently located just a few shot steps from Les Rambles, which is busy with lots of tourists and tourist targeted shopping. There is a wonderful bakery just across the street of the apartment and a grocery store around the corner to the left. Also the The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, (also known as La Boqueria which is a large public market) is only a 1 minute walk away.

We were also warned upon check in that we should not venture to the bottom part of Les Rambles. This was very true. You may not want to walk around late at night as there were lots of people trying to get you to go to a beach party or disco. There were also prostitutes hanging around Les Rambles making me feel uncomfortable about going out at night to take night photos...we didn't have to walk far to start seeing all the seedy people come out. Travelling around during the day was fine.
