I did not get a chance to connect or chat much with Donato as I kept myself very busy in BCN but he was very kind! The room and apartment was very clean and a nice place to retreat to each evening. I wouldn't say it was loud as I'm sure all of Barcelona is like this but I slept with ear plugs as motorcycles and scooters drive by at all hours and the room faces the street. It is a quiet street however! View from the balcony was lovely as well.
It was a great location away from the tourist insanity but an easy walk to the green metro line. Would recommend. :)
