If you want to stay in a very good location, with a very nice 'home'y' feeling, you have got to stay here. It is like in the pictures. It's a nice, typical building where I almost immeadiately felt at home! Jordi helps you with anything you need and leaves you with the most respect at your place. As a solo female traveler:highly recommended.
I rented a bike for 5 days but everything can be done by foot, subway,.. if you like Italian food: small place 'Donizetti' right across the street is great!
If you like to sleep with the windows open, like me, you can consider earplugs because of Bcn traffic sounds but it did not bother me at all. There's also a perfectly working electric fan so...
Just stay here :-)
