If you stay here, you will be pleasantly surprised, it is very close to the metro station, so buy the Hello Barcelona card when you arrive and you will have unlimited access to transportation all over Barcelona, also get the hop on hop off bus tour on your first full day there to see the full sights on bus, then you can use your metro card to explore at your leisure since there are no restrictions where you can travel. There is a kitchen, and everything you need to cook, and also a washing machine, but you will need to hang dry your clothes on the handy stand right outside on your private balcony. The beds were all very comfortable, and the extra secure locks on the door keep your mind at ease. The host is super nice and if you ask her, she will be awesome enough to give you some local tips! We highly recommend you stay here. My family had a great time in Barcelona, and this location to stay was absolutely perfect.
