This was one of the best places I've stayed. As others have said, the location is absolutely perfect. A block and a bit from Casa Battló, half a block from the Rambla, all kinds of good restaurants everywhere, the Hop On Hop Off bus just a block away. The shower was strong and the water hot, the kitchen is well equipped. And most of all, my messages were always returned right away. When my phone didn't work and the door codes could not be found, the taxi driver called Ale and she responded immediately. Yes, being in the heart of the city, it is a little noisy but usually quiet after 10:00 p.m. Loved it here and would go back in a heartbeat.
