Very kind hostess but make sure you have washed the dishes before leaving the flat :P She always stayed at her personal room in the front area of the flat so nobody understood the presence of her except from the time she cooked at the kitchen) Metro line4 station close enough but absolutely necessary in order to access most (important) parts of the city and Barcelonetta.. Old, not renovated flat, but totally clean! A bit expensive taking into consideration the far distance from the city center and the beach (app 1.5 km from the beach) and what it provides (no TV, A/C, the breakfast wasn't enough for our 3 days) Personally, didn't have such problems cause we visited Barcelona on May.. Not bad for a short stay..
