The location is perfect: a short walk to La Rambla, three short blocks from the convenient Paral-lel Metro station (direct trains to La Sagrada and that Gaudi house), two blocks from La Jabata, our local breakfast and siesta "tea" place), and the bar downstairs makes a perfectly good Cafe con Leche. There's also a killer tapas/sandwich place in the neighborhood, but it's so small, with no seats, just a couple of tables, that you'll have to do the same research I did to find it -- the locals sure weren't going to tell me about it.
The only disappointment was that the fridge couldn't keep our beer, cold cuts, water, and macarons properly chilled. The owners are aware of this.
