Our host Luis was very friendly and very helpful. He was always available if we had any questions and kept in contact with me prior to arriving. The room served its purpose and you get what you pay for but we were not anticipating staying in a hostel building. Being with my parents who are both in their 60s I was purposefully avoiding hostels so it was a bit of a disappointment to end up in one when it was not advertised as such. But overall we had a nice 3 nights in Barcelona and were in a good location for getting around to the major sites.
