The place was great, felt like being at home because it was easy to sink in and be comfortable. Excellent area with fantastic food ( we liked Can Codina for beer and tapas, La Pepita for more modern takes, and Cal Boter for the lunch menu of the day). But there are a ton of places to eat, and of course all the fantastic Gaudi sites to visit. We used the little porch to eat breakfast from a nearby bakery almost every day. Very well situated, very easy place to stay. It is up five flights of steps, no elevator, but that felt like the exercise we needed after all the food we ate.
