Wow! What an excellent location close to all the best shopping, food, and Barcelona charm! After having walked around the whole of Barcelona, I really couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. The room in Nadine's flat is bright and homey, with a huge window that overlooks great vermuth spots and cafes, an ancient Roman wall, and hundreds of little windows of other Barcelona residents (to spy on- hehe). I almost didn't want to leave the room! The bed was comfortable and lofted so the room never felt small. I would say if you are taller than 6ft though, you might have to sleep at an angle, as the bed is a tad short. No matter!! I would sacrifice the extra wiggle room to be situated in this area of the Gotic/Born neighborhood and a recipient of Nadine and Eduardo's sweet hospitality. Will re-book with them next time I make it to Spain.
