Carlos was very welcoming and friendly. The room was quite small, but we had access to a kitchen and living room area so it wasn't a problem. The direct surroundings aren't particularly scenic, but there are several really nice streets only a block away such as the Carrer de l'Hospital and Rambla del Raval. Carlos was really helpful in directing us to wherever we wanted to go, and even drove us from his place to the train station on our last day.
