If you want a more authentic living-in-Barcelona experience, Paola's place is perfect. Everything you need is close, including the metro and other transportation options. The Rambla is just steps away and yet Paola's place is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is quite functional and there are plenty of towels. And lots of info for places to see and experience. This was our second stay at Paola's and for us it is the only place to stay in Barcelona.
