Great place, definitely a keeper for future visits. Since I live in Spain, know Barcelona fairly well and was in town one night to meet a long-unseen friend, didn't need all the materials Aga had ready. Love the neighborhood ecosystem, if you value staying in a real world Barcelona 'hood with easy access to tourist sights and metro/subway, definitely should be on your list. Mid-week stay and I'm night person anyway so can't comment on noise factor but no trouble sleeping. Only drawback is no elevator for people with big baggage.
