Pietro's place is as pictured. It is located like 5-7 minutes walking to Sagrada Familia. The Sagrada familia and San pau dos de maig metros stop are also like 5 mins away. I traveled everywhere on public transportation. There are plenty of markets and restaurants nearby. The location is great and not very loud like most places in Spain I have stayed. It's 5 floors up but there is a small elevator. I had a neighbor complain that I was talking too loudly with another lady on elevator so I guess I would recommend you try to avoid talking while in elevator because it echoes. Pietro has a some roommates which were very nice. It was a quiet place and I never really knew when someone was home. The bedroom itself doesn't have a lock but this wasn't an issue for me. The bathroom also doesn't have a lock. So if the door is closed then it's occupied. If it's open, then bathroom is vacant. The bed was comfortable enough, and there was a fan! this is only place that I have stayed that had a small fan which made all the difference in my stay. I would stay here again and recomend anyone to stay at Pietro's place when visiting Barcelona.
