My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Loft. It is close to the metro and a number of supermarkets as well as restaurants/coffee shops. Although it is not quite as central as I had previously thought, it only takes about 15 min to walk to la rambla and the gothic quarter and we felt like we got a real locals experience. When we had an issue with the hot water, the host was very prompt to come by and fix the problem. We would definitely stay there again.
