The location is absolutely perfect for going to Barcelona. It's a short walk from La Ramblas which is the main shopping street you'll most likely going to want to go to. It's easy to get a taxi either directly to the place, or to La Rambla and take a short walk. There are many restaurants in the area that are once again all in walking distance. The area is safe and I felt very comfortable walking about even at night. This place is in the main city, yet it was still calm and quiet and we were able to get a wonderful nights sleep. The place was exceptionally clean, they even allowed us to drop off our luggage before check in so we didn't have to tote it around which I very much appreciated. The place was beyond expectations, and it is a must stay to be able to sit out on the balcony and watch the world go by. The owners are very sweet and responsive, and I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Barcelona. If I was ever back in Barcelona, I would certainly stay again :)
