German is a lovely hist! wonderful person and I also got to meet some of his friends and family - they are all wonderful!
The room is small and it wasn't the cleanest, but it was an affordable place to stay in Barcelona, which isn't easy to find. The area had a lot of construction at the time, so not very picturesque, but there were bus stops close by, the beach was about 30mins walk, the metro was a few minutes up the road, so not a bad place to be.
The room door and the bathroom door don't lock. This wasn't an issue for me, but I think that's important to know.
I literally only slept at the apartment, so of you're out and about all day, this is an affordable place to say with a friendly host :)
