The area is absolutely wonderful. Calle Blai is perfect for going out for pinchos and there are a number of cozy bars where local people go out - not many tourists there. It is close to transportation, very central, clean and beautifully kept. Oriol was welcoming and helpful and took the time to explain everything we wanted to ask him. My bed was comfortable and there was an actual duvet in stead of just a blanket - a big plus in my book. I would go back anytime.
