This is a good choice for Barcelona in local area away from tourists a short walk to subway get the balcony and breakfast well worth it. The hotel is a converted mansion the owner still lives on first floor..has homey feel to it..good front desk help alberto was standout..room is nice size balcony was nice..the breakfast was outstanding and Myrian was so helpful and friendly..the spread is beautiful and well worth the money..we felt the lunch/diner menu was limited food was good but one time is enough..there are small restaurants walking distance a real good Italian restaurant a few steps away is good. A barber shop down the street is excellent and a few small markets just a block away the subway is just down the hill you can buy the T casual pass zone 1 for 11 euro works on bus or subway and we used that a lot.
