This was a great place to stay! The sitting room opens up completely to the balcony which makes for a awesome large space to sit and have wine and cheese. You have great access to all the to two of the central plazas. Easy access to La Rambla (about 15min wall), metro lines (1 block away)and bus lines (right outside the building). You are in the heart of St. Antonio which is great since there is a small open food market next door. I stayed here with my Mom, and we both felt safe at all times. If your looking on google maps and see all the graffiti on the street don’t let that deter you as the whole city looks like that, and has nothing to do with how safe the area is.
