A stylish and comfortable apartment in a great location - a stone's throw from the Serrano Towers and a very short walk to the Plaza de la Virgen. There is a lovely bakery and a bank if you turn left as you leave the apartment block. If you turn right out of the apartment block, and walk down to Carrer dels Serrans then turn left you will find a small supermarket where you can find all the essentials.
The street where the apartment is located is very quiet but you will experience normal day to day noise from the small businesses that operate on the street as well as the refuse collection.
There are some good eateries very close - we can recommend Cafe Navarro. And if you walk into the Plaza de la Virgen there are some lovely cafes where you can enjoy a simple breakfast whilst watching life in the square - groups of students on school trips, walking guided tours, residents walking their dogs.
The cathedral, the central market, the Silk Exchange are all within a short walk and all worth a visit.
All in all I cannot find any faults with Lorenzo's apartment and we hope to return very soon.
