What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Barcelona?

"We live in a flat on the top floor of a 160 year old block in a working class neighbourhood in the centre of the city (equivalent to Soho in London). It doesn't have a lift but we didn't want to have noise above us as well as below - Barcelona is the noisiest city in Europe (fact). Don't know about other expats as hardly know any - difficult to get to know people in this city," explained one expat living in Barcelona, Spain.
