The hotel (I use the name hotel because it really isn’t an apartment building, it is a hotel posing as a Airbnb) is located in a transitional neighborhood. If you are looking for a place that is not traditional Catalonia then this is it. There is a very heavy mix of middle eastern culture in this area. Lots of places to hear Arabic and get middle eastern food along with traditional tapas.
The room itself is nicely decorated with a very modern feel to it. The bed is comfortable and, though temperature control is rather nonexistent, it is Air Conditioned. Great water pressure in the shower.
However, this is not the type of AirBnB property that I have been familiar with. It is basically a hotel without a front desk. It appears that all the apartments are rented to tourist. This accounts for late hour noise, early in to the AM hours, that is clear through the thin walls/floor.
Very close to the metro, especially useful as some Barcelona’s advised me not to walk through the adjoining neighborhoods to get the old city.
