Great communication with Helene from the start.
Easy check in, when it was convenient for both of us (before check in time).
Lovely big kitchen and table. 2 showers. 1 toilet. Really big bedroom with a really comfortable double bed and balcony.
Helene was very friendly, offered good advice and the other flat mates seemed very nice and friendly.
Very close to La Ramblas, literally 100 metres!!
Lots of Indian/Pakistani restaurants and shops nearby.
Being so close to La Ramblas it can get quite noisy if you wanted an early night, however the balcony door seemed very effective to me at reducing this noise and I slept well.
Fundamentally I had a great stay here however I am a well travelled 6ft 3 man who has lived in some dodgy places. I would say if you are intimidated by groups of men trying to earn a living from their hustle or you are islamaphobic this might not be the place for you. As it is so close to las Ramblas you have many of the hustlers outside your doorstep which might be intimidating to a young inexperienced traveller.
The only thing I can complain about is, on my final night 2 people arrived home at 4am, flirted, laughed and giggled for 30 mins then proceeded to have loud intermittent sex until 7am. Not caring at all about the other flatmates and continuing even though it was obvious they disturbing many people. Maybe this is normal, but to a prudish Englishman this was unacceptable..
Other than that bad taste that was left in my mouth at the end, looking back it was a good overall stay and recommended if you want to be close to la Ramblas and don't mind having that hussleing atmosphere outside your doorstep.
