Shanon is a really nice, warm and accommodating hostess but the place is not suitable for couples as the beds are separate and it is not a 'big, beautiful room' as advertised when we signed up. It is ok and functional. The amenities are being improved and that's great.
The location is super-excellent from a metro point of view but Anderson wasn't available to talk with us to advise us to use that for coming from Sants with heavy bags. I'd advise to buy a 10-trips metro card as you will definitely use that as a tourist in Barcelona... and use the first trip to drop your bags at his place. Continuing your trip is free of charge for 75 minutes after the first metro swipe, so you lose nothing!
