Very conveniently located short walk to the metro and lots of the best local sights in BCN. The immediate area itself is not the nicest but that is reflected in the price. If like me you will spend most of your time exploring the city then this is perfect for you.
My only criticism was having to pay €20 for checking in at 9:30pm. That seemed a bit excessive and should be mentioned in the listing.
Incredibly fast wifi was a very pleasant surprise!
