Good place to stay, but depends on your preferences and the price you get.
Pros:
- Central location, close to Plaça de Catalunya, El Raval, etc.
- Quiet street, quiet place.
- Big patio, must be great if you are there with friends.
- Easy to make sorry reservations, not overpaying much in terms of service fees.
Neutral:
- It is a hostel, which may be good or bad, depending on what you are looking for.
Cons:
- No private bathrooms (but the shared bathrooms in the hallway were very clean and I had no problems with them being occupied by other visitors).
- The room I got looked pretty bleak: poor lighting color temperature, no natural light (but I wasn't expecting anything fancy either).
- Value for money may be a bit low, depending on the price you get.
- You'll need to pay a tourist tax (very small, a couple of euros per day or so) directly at the check-in, which is not included in the Airbnb payment.
- For some reason they request your passport details at check-in, however, it's unclear how long they keep this information, or how they prevent it from getting stolen, which may be a privacy concern for you.
