Anna was friendly. My room and the flat as a whole met all expectations. I used the kitchen for breakfast, but even cooked myself dinner once. Everything was there and Anna was very hospitable.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the lodging. Is an aside, but important for travellers with suitcases.
One suggestion for any visitor to BCN: I didn't find any train stations where you could store luggage (before departing and you still have the whole day). I found stasher (dot) com on the internet. Scores of small shops will store your luggage for a fair price. All locations are shown on the city your in. Very practical.
