This place is in an excellent location, you can walk everywhere- to plaza catalunya, gothic district, the beach, and near many restaurants, bars and shops. The house is a bit old and there is a narrow 4 floor walk-up with no elevator, and the room is a bit cold especially in the winter (the only heating is a small heating furnace) so pack warm. However, the room is very well sized for 2 people and I can't emphasize enough how great the location is- if you plan to spend all of your time exploring Barcelona and not staying at home this is an ideal place.
