This is an amazing location! It was close to park Guell, the metro, and some great local restaurants (definitely try La Taberna de Lesseps!). It’s a bit of a walk from the gothic quarter, so you’ll probably want the metro at least some of the time (get the 10 trip pass, it can be used for multiple people and is much cheaper the the unlimited days pass) and it was super easy to use.
The neighborhood is much quieter than if you stayed in the other neighborhoods and there are fewer tourist (except near park Guell), which we loved.
You’ll want to bring your own body wash and shampoo, but there are plenty of supermarkets nearby (although a lot of these are closed on Sundays).
Definitely recommend staying here!
