Location is great - at the heart of Las Ramblas and walking distance from all the main neighborhoods/attractions (although, fair warning that Las Ramblas is like the Times Square of Barcelona, central but also full of tourists). Christian’s place is perfect for a solo traveler or couple, especially if you will be out most of the day seeing the attractions. The building has an elevator which was great because I had a lot of luggage. I didn’t use the common area much, but the bedroom is great, spacious and very quiet - and there is a very nice terrace on the roof of the building. Some lovely restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Christian is also a very good/super chill host and provided a helpful list of recommendations. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Barcelona!
