Pros:
Great location, rooftop views of Gracia, near transit
Cons:
Uncomfortable bed (and pillows), right next to demonstrations and protests, lots of stairs to get to apartment
The neighborhood was a lot of fun to stay in, but it was during the Strike. We asked the host if the apartment would be affected and he assured us that it was no where near the action, but what he meant was that it was at the epicenter of the action and that we were going to have to walk quite a ways through massive protests to get to the site.
