This is a beautiful modern apartment in a great neighbourhood. The street is quiet at night but there are lots of restaurants and bars nearby. It's several blocks to the metro, but it is do-able, and there are buses. There was construction going on down the street when we were there (the jackhammering started about 8 a.m.), but that's not going to go on forever, and the blinds Isidre has deaden a lot of the noise. The apartment is thoughtfully and completely equipped with everything you might need, and Isidre gave us many tips about the city and the neighbourhood on our arrival. He keeps the apartment up very well--a new couch was supposed to arrive while we were there, but we asked for the delivery to be delayed until we left. After long days of sightseeing, the beds were a bit hard and we would have appreciated a slightly higher water temperature for the bathtub, but believe me, these are minor points in an excellent apartment.
