I need a room in Barcelona Sept09 or interim hostel

[AjanProvocateur]

I am moving there in September 2009.
I am a qualified experienced English teacher in mid 40s and I will be looking for work even before I arrive.
I also write and used to work as a freelance photographer.

I am concluding 2 years of vagrant life and do not want to return to straight laced England.

I cam make do with simple accommodation - and of course cheap (cheap by being simple!)

It needs to be quiet in the sense that if I want quiet (for sleep, study and contemplation) I can retreat to my room and and it will be quiet there.

This is not because I'm jealous of youth it's because my well being and sanity depend on good sleep and freedom of thought!

I would of course prefer some self contained flat but it would be out of my price range at this stage, probably.

Would 200 Euros be too little to expect for a room?

It also needs to allow me access to the centre.

Any info on cheap hostels would be appreciated too.
