This place is very centrally located in Barcelona. As a result, it can be a bit noisy in the evenings. We were only in Barcelona for 2 days, so the trade-off between location and noise was well worth it. If I were returning to Barcelona for a longer visit, I would likely stay a bit further out. However, if I return for a short visit, I would definitely stay here again. The host stayed in touch from the time we booked through our departure and the check-in/check-out process could not have been easier. Here's a hint if the elevator doesn't appear to be working during your visit: it may just be stuck on a particular floor. When we arrived with 2 large bags and discovered the elevator remained at the 6th floor, my son walked up the stairs (minus the bags, of course) and just sent the elevator down to the ground floor - so no hauling heavy bags up six flights of stairs. Incidentally, after reporting this to the host, it was immediately corrected and the elevator worked fine for the rest of the trip.
