This was a fantastic location for my visit to Barcelona. I had contemplated staying near the beach and am SO GLAD I DIDN'T!! This is a real neighborhood, and it is close to a much better part of the city. Easy walking to everything... Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, The Raval... and I had a good long walk up to the Sagrada one night. Totally safe area. The hosts are fantastic, lots of great tips and communication. Super clean place with great views of the people in the neighborhood in the living room. Also amazing to have a washer AND dryer... I was so tired of having a full day line drying clothes. Great place to stay!
