I was on a business / pleasure trip and this location could not have been more perfect for me. First of all the Starbucks on the corner was perfect- not really a REAL coffee drinker :) - then the location right next to Sagrada Familia made you in the heart of everything and yet the small street location made it a very quiet stay. The Wok take out Restuarant next to Starbucks was FANTASTIC! There are taxis on every corner and the metro couldn’t be any handier. Their metro system is very tourist friendly, so buy a 2-3-4 day ticket and go mad on the metro being local.
