Apartment is nice and quiet with the occasional sounds coming from outside (especially from the room with the balcony facing the street). It's a great location, a 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and the nearest subway station. The pizza place downstairs is great btw. Julie is nice and communicated everything perfectly and in a timely manner, she also has a lot of information prepared and readily available that included all the popular tourist attractions. We didnt use the kitchen but it was nice to have the option and I liked that there was a washing machine to do some laundry. I would stay again if visiting Barcelona again.
