This was such a lovely place to stay for our first visit to Barcelona. The location was perfect: on a cute, little square with gorgeous old shade trees and a couple of nice cafes, close to some terrific restaurants, a few minutes’ walk to several metro lines, but out of the way enough to be relatively calm. We loved having breakfast on the terrace and listening to the starlings and parrots every morning. The kitchen was well equipped, and the air conditioning was a real life saver as the city was having a bit of a heat wave while we were there. The square does get pretty lively at times, like when the kids get out of school— but the noise level never bothered us. We’d happily stay here again.
