So glad we found Aparthotel Bertran! Parking spot (19 €/night) and price is what sold us on this place, but everything was great. However, if you need a parking spot, call in advance to reserve it. I didn't see anywhere to do it on the website, so I'm glad I called to check.
We had the "penthouse room" (not an apartment, just a hotel room). There was no fridge or anything, but a large (especially by European standards), comfortable room with a big bed and a big bathroom with bathtub (and even a bidet, if you're interested...). We also had prime access to the rooftop pool and very spacious terrace - right outside our door :) Clean room, friendly staff, working AC and TV, calm neighborhood that felt safe (residential area far from pickpockets and crowds, cheap-ish local cafés). Short walk to the Vallcarca metro and we were on the Rambla in minutes! Would stay here again, no questions asked. Only warning I would give is to anyone that has trouble walking - this area of Barcelona is very very hilly!
