Would highly recommend Helena's place for any travelers looking for a central location in the Gothic / Las Ramblas area to explore. Accommodations were simple, but comfortable and had the unique perspective of what a true apartment in the Gothic quarter was like. Hot shower and kitchen available for use. To note: there are 3 total rooms for rent with 1 shared bathroom, but we didn't have any noise issues with hearing anyone in the other rooms. Helena is very sweet and communicative up front on how to locate the Apartment and gave good directions.
