This was a noisy location in the centre of the city. There’s lots of traffic and street noise. This is to be expected given the very central location. It was very convenient for just about everything. It’s close to shops and restaurants and most of the iconic tourist sights are in walking distance. If you want a tranquil place, this is not it. We wanted to be right in the busy heart of Barcelona and this apartment was right for that. It was comfortable and mostly well-equipped though not enough cups or bowls for the 4 of us never mind the 8 that could be accommodated. Overall, we had a great week.
