  : Very clean, got everything you could ever need. TV didn't work but wasn't an issue. Air con in one of the bedrooms does loud whirs every half an hour but it's an amazingly central location, host was great and very clean.
  : The noise :( The noise from the streets is not good. We stayed with our little kids and people throughout the night screaming, laughing and shouting was an issue. The street cleaner trucks at 4am, the parties in nearby apartments, the babies crying I'm afraid was a real problem for us but it's absolutely not the apartments fault. Such a central location but we all slept terribly so I wouldn't personally recommend for a young family if you're light sleepers

  : It is in a brilliant position on the edge of the Gothic quarter. It was exceptionally clean.
  : The property was excellent. A lift in the building would have been helpful but we managed well without it.

  : Great location
  : Terrible bed . And didnt know there was no lift so 72 narrow stairs with case and a bad back was very tough !

  : Great location, easy check in and out. There are many restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby. From the apartment we walked to many locations, within about 20 minutes, including La Rambla, Casa Battlo, Sagrada Familia, the beach, and the bus station for a tour to Montserrat. The host arranged an airport transfer which was fairly priced, worked smoothly, and made our arrival easy. We were aware there was no lift and the apartment is on the 4th floor (5th if you count the North American way). The air conditioning and bright, roomy apartment was welcome after climbing the stairs. Plenty of space for the two of us, including a small work desk.
  : Although we did not hear any noise from other units or people in the building, late-night noise from the street (barking dogs, street cleaners, loud people, after-midnight deliveries, etc.) comes right into the unit, even with the doors and shutters closed. We got more used to the interruptions after a few nights - it's part of the life of the city and part of the experience. An extra mirror or two would be a nice addition.
