Pilar's place was in a great location! Just a short walk over to La Ramblas and most of the popular places in town. Taxis are super easy to hail from her location. The apartment was very spacious. 2 large bedrooms and a REALLY large bathroom. The shower had great water pressure (a huge plus in my book!). Washer and dryer in the apartment was a huge plus as well, although I think instructions would have been helpful (maybe we just missed them). The only issue we had was, as others have mentioned as well, noise is an issue. It's on a main road, so you definitely hear traffic and what's going on down there. Also, the neighbors (which I THINK were other renters and not full time tenants), were SUPER loud. Hopefully that won't be an issue for others. All in all, a good stay. Would stay again if the neighbors were not there.
