Location is perfect! 10-15 minute walk to Las Ramblas, and Gothic Quarter, and 1-2 miles from the beach. Fantastic eating places around every corner.
Jaume and his staff were great and very welcoming. Gave us a map upon checking in and some ideas of places to go. Jaume also allowed us to check out later to accommodate our departing flight.
Bring your own beach towels, and head to the market to grab home supplies (toilet paper, coffee etc) upon arrival.
