Despite being one of Barcelona’s most nightlife active areas, the apartment is actually very well protected from outside noise. The only time we heard a sound was early in the morning, one of the neighbours from the same building with a hairdryer possibly getting ready for work. The house is well located, very close to the metro, but it’s location makes Barcelona very walkable.
Cons: the reviews we had read pointed to a very clean house, when we got there though, there were definitely some signs of not the most clean house you could imagine. The bathtub and other areas of the bathroom are super rusty. The walls of our bedroom had some noticeable stains, and the bedsheets didn’t smell like they had been washed (but they could have been in storage). My pillowcase had someone else’s hair on it. Not the most pleasant experience, but for the sake of travelling cheap and light, does the job.
