Mono and his wife Peca were wonderful hosts. They are the loveliest of people. They give you lots of privacy. The room was clean and adequate. It is a fairly noisy neighborhood, like most of Barcelona it is very crowded with people, so bring earplugs. It's walking distance to the gothic quarter so you don't even need to take the subway much. It's also walking distance to the port, which was my favorite part of Barcelona. Also walking distance to the Magic Fountain, ask them about that. I love the sunny roof deck and the Beautiful views both during the day and at night. The skyline is great from up there. I recommend staying with them.
