Prfect place to stay in the area of lots o local people from bcn, also nearby there are lots of places to go and have a drink, nearby in Francesc Macia was one of the best sushi restaurants that i have ever eaten too, pretty nice, lovely and well located to kno bcn, from the tourist area es like a 20 min by public transportation and like a 30 min walk but its so nice that you have to do it at least one time.
