We stayed in a place right in the middle of things a week earlier, and on our way back to Barcelona we stayed here. After getting oriented in our earlier trip it was nice to be a little away from all the action downtown but close to it. The neighborhood was nice and the building, while a little basic, was fine. The hosts were communicative and the kitchen was well stocked.
The hot water was a little temperamental as the kitchen was on-demand, and I am not sure what the issue was with the shower. In fact, our one complaint was that the shower was clearly in need of repairs. We got it working with a basic stream of low pressure water but the hot water would turn off and on somewhat mysteriously. It may simply need a new shower head but it made the shower very hard to use.
In general, though, it was nice to be one block from the METRO and near a supermarket and bread shops and a residential neighborhood.
