It was very central in barcelona. the apartment was very clean and had everything you needed for 25 euro each per night. great value. i would stay there again. The noise of the traffic outside - it could do with better sound insulation.Lee

A) the location is excellent as it is very near to catalunya metro, bus stops and other transports. also very near to la ramblas (100m) and all the activities.
b) the apartment is new and clean with kitchen facilities available
c) wifi is an added advantage
d) the place seems secure enough and the environment is great for couples or familiesAnonymous

Excelent location, it's realy near of all what you want. if sth is far from use metro which is in 3 minutes way from the appartments. You live in the appartment but in fact it's a small hostel.
if you are a couple and decide to join your beds be ready - they can have different height.
there were terrible beds in our room and it's not only about the height.Anonymous

Location is perfect and the room is clean though basic.We were only given 2 towels for a four night stay and though there was a cleaner everyday none of the bedrooms were serviced, though it being an apartment it was not really an issue. the loction can be rather noisy due to the intersection below but these negatives had no impact on my stay.APPLETON
