The location is absolutely unbeatable. It takes 5 minutes to get to Las Ramblas and neighborhoods like the Gothic Quarter, El Born, and El Raval are also walkable. We would walk to El Raval for brunch/coffee in the mornings. Departure Coffee is amazing. If you go, order the flat white and get a baked good (they're homemade). The subway station/buses are right around the corner. Also, at the end of the street there's a department store: El Corte Ingles with a super market on the bottom floor to buy all your extra necessities and food to fill the fridge. It was a great home base for the 4 of us. The beds are comfortable and the space is large. Having two bathrooms was a god send and the elevator is a great perk. The only issue we had was construction happening directly below us. It was super loud with hammering and drilling. They start early around 8:30am.
