If you are looking for a place very central in the old quaint sections of Barcelona, this is a perfect location! Plus Alice and her daughter Lola are very hospitable and want to make sure you have a good time. We were there during three rallies and always felt safe, plus this location you can avoid the crowds by walking the "alley ways" with the many cute shops, and the stores and restaurants for food. Note: this is shared with Alice who lives there. She does have some minor rules including the kitchen, but it is her home so I think it is reasonable. She respects your privacy, spends much of her time in her private section of the apartment, and is very sensitive to making sure you have your own time in the kitchen. I recommend!
