Two thumbs WAY UP! This location is stellar— walk to beach, energetic street with tons of great cafes and shops— but away from the craziness of the touristy Las Ramblas — though only a short cab ride away should you wish to visit that area.
Hosts could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Their recommendation for an English speaking taxi company was needed as Barcelona does not allow Ubers , and their space was perfect for us.
No question when I return to Barcelona I’d want to stay there again!
