Jose's place is very well located. Not in a noisy/vibrant neighborhood but in a good/safe and quiet neighborhood, close to downtown. You can eat very late (Inter Tapas until 2am) if you walk a couple of blocks. You can also buy groceries very late. Metro/Bus very close.
Even though the room/bed look simple, they were comfortable and I could rest very well. The presence of a desk makes a difference too if you need to get some work done. No lock FYI.
Be aware than the walls are thin, hence the quiet time starting at 22pm. You might also hear people snore but I was so tired going out every night that I didn't care, and if you aren't, it means that you are not visiting Barcelona fully!
Thoughtful touches include: coffee machine, toaster, microwave and a reserved space in the fridge!
Great value for the price.
