The place was ideal for a friend and I to share during our 5 day trip. It's about a 25 minute walk to most turist attractions but only a 15 minute walk to la sagrada familia. There are supermarkets, cafes and pharmacies nearby. We had everything we needed as far as towels, linens and kitchen appliances to cook a light meal. Only thing to be aware is you're going up a lot of stairs which is fine for someone who is young and with light baggage so just keep that in mind. Otherwise a good and affordable place.
