This was a comfortable apartment in a great location in Barcelona. If you are looking for a central location close to metro, buses, restaurants and shops, this will fit the bill. We had to work during the day and the internet connection was perfect. The apartment is an oasis of peace and quiet. It opens on a central courtyard with hardly any noise from the outside. You won't believe that you are in the middle of huge city! If you are concerned with air conditioning, this one was great. It is the first time that I have seen central AC in an apartment in Europe. It is quiet and works well. Additionally, you feel very safe because there is a doorman during the day and there is an elevator which is great! Virginia is a very personable and helpful host. She replied to texts immediately to help us with finding things. I would recommend this apartment without hesitation.
