I agree with most of all of the other reviewers--a solid property in a nice neighborhood location and lovely, old New York wood finishes. We also stayed in the Los Ramblas Old Town area which is fun but wanted to see more of this fabulous city, specifically a neighborhood. This, the L'Example offer plenty to see in a more relaxed manner. Would be great for long term stay but we also prized it after the Los Ramblas. The staff was especially helpful. Recommend if you want to feel the anon tourist part of Barcelona.
