Azucena and her co-host, David, were the loveliest of people. The space over all is very welcoming and great for solo travelers. I met 4 lovely people during my time there and I just so happen to have had a great experience with all of them, but I believe the inviting and warm environment allowed for that sort of encounter. The location is great, walkable to Mounjüic Castle/ Magic Fountain , and about a 20-30 minute walk to most landmarks including Barceloneta, MACBA, and las Ramblas. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend this place to friends. Although, note the 4 flights of stairs if you have heavy luggage!
