  : The living room is beautiful, exposed ceiling with beam lights. The bedroom near the balcony was dreamy too and comfortable.Really good location! Right next to a little supermarket (more like a corner shop than supermarket). The metro is a few minutes walk away and a minutes walk from a long road of tapas bars, more supermarkets and fast food outlets. Plenty of bakeries right on the street for the morning. Gothic quarter is about a 20/25 minute walk or a few mins on the metro. Barcelona was HOT so the aircon was very, very much appreciated. The little balcony is great for a night time nosey.The kitchen has lots of utilities we wouldnt need to use but would have been great if wed stayed a little longer and would be cooking meals. TV had Netflix too.
  : Its very loud in general. The bathroom makes a loud buzz noise every 30 seconds when the light is on (no idea what or why) and theres always a lot of noise from outside no matter what time of day or night. We were really conscious of making too much noise after 9pm to avoid a 100 fine, yet the loud noise from outside and the noise from the neighbours didnt trigger the alarm? There isnt any storage space for your clothes - they have 8 coat hangers in the room by the balcony but the other has no where to put your belongings. Not an issue for me as Im fine to live out of a case and they do have an iron (but without a board). Would have liked to have had a safe as well although the felt very secure with a double lock on the door and one to get into the building too.
