Donato's place is in a very good neighborhood: it is close to the metro, an amazing Gaudi's masterpiece 'Park Güell' is just a few streets away, there are some nice local shops just around the corner, there are a couple of supermarkets nearby but the street is quiet enough so you'll be able to rest properly :) The metro line takes you straight to the main streets so there was really no problem with the transport! If you are traveling in winter, make sure you take some warm pyjamas because it is quite cool at night in the room (however, we were provided with all the blankets and extra blankets :) The host Donato answered all our questions and was a big help getting around Barcelona :)
