Thomas place is perfect. The location is everything when backpacking through Spain you are right in all the action of old town , a short taxi or walk to the main attractions such as park guell, and la familia . The beach is only a 5 min taxi as well! The rooftop is incredible especially if you stay up until 7am to see the sunrise shine off the rooftops of the apartments around. We cooked family dinner and ate under moonlight on the rooftop and could see the lights from the oldest church in Barcelona! Definitely would reccomend booking this!
