The communication with Al was great. The check in with Uri also went fast without problems. There is a public garage opposite of the building, and the door of the garage made loud noises all night which led to waking up all night.The location/ area is a bit shady and at night you cannot feel comfortable walking as 2 girls alone, police is driving there a lot and we experienced quite a few people which got caught by a pick pocket. We kind of underestimated the walking distances as well. To las Ramblas it is about 15 min, but to the beach its a 40 min walk!
