This is a cute little studio with the quirks of an ancient building in an ancient city.
As an old building in an old city, there are smells (mainly from the yard and sewers) no amount of cleaning can eliminate. But you can get used to them.
It’s far off the beaten path, so you truly do live like a local. If you are going to Barcelona to party, this is NOT the place for you. It’s a place to have quiet nights to sleep or use the fast WiFi. We made dinner in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The metro is close, as are wonderfully typical stores- a grocery with an excellent carniceria, a fruiteria, a bakery, and a pharmacy.
It can be hard to get a cab to come pick you up here, but it’s a quick & easy bicycle or scooter ride down the hill. I rented an electric beach cruiser from Cruising Barcelona for the week and it was a breeze to climb the steep streets after a day of exploring central Barcelona.
