Good place to stay if you're visiting Barcelona for tourism or a few days of work. It's next to a metro station and really close to the train station which makes the trip from and to the airport extremely easy. There's a great bakery on the street for a quick breakfast before you explore the city.
It's not far from La Sagrada Familia and couple of times we even went to the Gothic Quarter and back by foot but you shouldn't do it everyday. The metrostation that's next to it makes it easy to go wherever you want in the city.
We don't speak Spanish and Monica and her husband don't speak English but we succesfully communicated with pointing and few "OK? OK.". They seem really nice. We communicated with their son Jason online for every question we had so the language barrier wasn't an issue.
N.B. The room has an air conditioner which is really important if you're visiting in the summer.
