This flat is perfectly located close to a major metro stop at Paral-lel (~35 mins door-to-door public transportation to the airport) as well as a great variety of restaurants and shops on Carrer de Blair (Quimet & Quimet is a must for outstanding tapas). The flat itself is modern, fresh, tastefully decorated, very well equipped and cozy. Check-in was painless as we met Pedro at our planned arrival time and had provided required documentation and tourist tax payment in advance. Our one major detractor here is the apparent sensitivity to noise. There are signs posted throughout mandating 'no noise' from 9am-9pm, coupled with the presence of a camera and noise detector on the terrace. Although we had no specific incidents or complaints against us, we did feel like we had to walk on eggshells through the duration of our stay and felt compelled limit our boardgames over a glass of wine on the terrace to a quiet whisper. The challenge is that the neighbourhood itself can be relatively noisy, not only from revelers in the street but also from neighbours on all sides. This did limit our enjoyment, but this is otherwise a great place to launch your exploration of Barcelona.
