Great central location very close to La Rambla and the subway. The Gothic Quarter is beautiful and you can pretty much walk to anything you need except maybe Gaudi Park. There's access to tons of restaurants, museums, shopping etc. I'd recommend walking over to El Born and trying some of the tapas restaurants over there since anything close to La Rambla is flooded with tourists. The area is also VERY busy and active all day and through the evening. It definitely makes for a fun time, but don't expect to have an early bedtime. Overall we had an incredible time and couldn't have asked for a better location.
