The location of the apartment was perfect. We took a tour and actually walked passed the apartment. The tour guide said it was on the oldest street in Barcelona. It was also VERY clean! There are about 8-10 bars/restaurants on the same street which was so great. You are literally a 5 minute walk to the center of the city. There are so many stores near by. The apartment is in a hot spot so you can hear noise from outside. There is a restaurant downstairs so you can hear them moving around and washing dishes etc. until they close. We were also able to hear the upstairs neighbors walk around and talk. The walls are very thin. Besides that I would definitely recommend this apartment! The host is very helpful and responded right away every time I contacted her!
