The accommodation is in a perfect location, close to the atmospheric Gothic and Born areas,a few minutes walk to the bus stop for the beach. Its very clean and quiet. Breakfast basic but OK. My big problem was air con pre set to 26 degrees, which isn't air con at all really in summer heat. No fan available (I checked) there is a ruling about a/c levels in accommodation in Barcelona, but I was at another roo a few days before and no downward limit, likewise other tourists had no problems. Beware

I would like to haver a small sink or an other facility of running water. A shared bathroom for 4 rooms (toilet was also in the shower room) If the toilet is separate it will be great. Overall very nice welcoming. Very friendly people.

Unique accommodation in the heart of the Gothic district. My granddaughter and I enjoyed our 4 day stay and will definitely return. I would highly recommend especially for females travelling alone you will feel safe and well looked after.
