The location is very good with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and a great supermarket close by. It was in easy walking distance of everything and we never ended up using metro or Ubers. The main shopping street was only about 4 blocks away. The big church and 2 Gaudy building are just a little further. Barceloneta and the gothic quarter are a little further, but worth the walk as it takes you right down Las Ramblas which you have to see even if you’re smart enough not to eat or buy anything there!
The place had all we needed, but bring your own laundry soap. There is a school nearby and the children can get a little rowdy outside in the courtyard, but only from 10-5 m-f, so it didn’t bother us at all.
