The big plusses for this place are the cost and location, location, location. It's only a short walk to the Av. de Gaudi, with outdoor cafes galore, then only several blocks to the magnificent Sagrada Familia. The owners are very pleasant to deal with. There's also a nearby Metro. The only downsides we found are that you could never be sure if you were going to get hot or cold water in the shower, the beds were a bit hard, and forget about having a view from the windows. But if you want to see Barcelona without spending a lot of money, this is the place!
