Simon was a friendly host and offered some great tips during our short stay. The home was tidy, and even though there was no bedroom, we had the entire ground floor to ourselves. The bed was comfortable. Great location, close to las Ramblas and train stations. The downside to the convenient location is that it is bit noisy, especially in the morning; you can hear everything outside. The area also smelled of cigarette smoke from time to time, if that matters. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
