Heading there in a few weeks. Didn't really come across any talk of bad areas in all my research. Maybe Barceloneta, and the end of the Gothic Quarter closer to the water. We ended up booking in Lesq L'Eixample at the NW edge of it on Av. de Josep Tarradellas. We'll take the Aerobus for 11 euro return ticket.

Seemed close enough to walk to the central stuff and catch metro to other things, while being quieter and better value for price than the really central stuff.

In the Gothic and Poblenou seems like lots of really really old buildings with no elevators, street noise, paper thin walls, sewer smells, narrow stairwells too tight for luggage, and definitely no AC for $400+/night. But you're 100 feet to everything!
