Our family has always rented whole flats, so we were slightly skeptical about staying in a room in someone else's house. We were pleasantly surprised with Darma and Nico. They are charming and friendly and helped us with all of our needs. Our son made fast friends with their daughter and it made our time in the house very relaxing. The room is bright and very private in a historic building with original mosaic flooring. The only problem was the incessant street traffic. Darma even provided earplugs for us in case we couldn't sleep. There were other guests at the house during our stay but they were polite and went unnoticed. We only had to walk one block to get to the nearest Metro station. This is an ideal place for families to stay in Barcelona. Our trip was made even better by staying with this lovely family.
