This listing is truly a must if you wish to be in the heart of Barcelona. Located right above the boqueria (meat market), everything about this location is great. The neighborhood is quite safe as well. The sound levels, as mentioned by other reviewers is quite loud, but that is one of the true ways to experience what this beautiful city has to offer. There is a stench when you first enter the complex from the outside, but the smell quickly fades by the time you reach the apartment. The apartment itself if well laid out and there are four pretty little windows which you can open and peer down on all the tourist action. Checkout was a breeze. We will stay there again in a heartbeat.
