A hostel close to the action in Barcelona. If you want to get in and out in a hurry, be close to the metro, the bus line to Park Guell, a cheap grocery store and an easy ten minute jaunt to Casa Milla/La Pedrera, Casa Battlo--this is a good spot for a good price. If traffic noise will bother you when sleeping be sure to bring ear plugs. (A must whenever I travel) The kitchen leaves a little bit to be desired but is well outfitted for cooking. Bed and sheets were clean and comfortable. There is a nice mellow rooftop terrace to relax on while recharging.
Karla, the host, was kind, knowledegable and accommodating. I caught her giving food to an elder homeless man down the block one night on my way back to the hostel. Awesomeness.
Everyone staying there was respectful and peaceful and the overall experience was well worth the price. A great spot from which to get oriented to Gaudi's Barcelona, if you don't mind traffic noise and less than ideal air quality. I recommend it for a night or two to get your bearings.
