We (2 adults + 1 child) spent 8 nights in the apartment in April. The apartment is managed by a company so it does not have the personal touch of a privately owned place but the maintenance and equipment are good. The team is responsive, even outside regular business hours. The apartment is not spacious but functional for our family, but probably a bit too tight for 4 adults. Even though that was not the purpose of our trip the beach is a 200 m away. A parking can be rented and that was a deciding factor for us since we travelled by car. The flip side is that it is not in the middle of the tourist attractions so we typically had a 10-15 minutes taxi ride to get to the attractions (there are buses too nearby). The Poblenou rambla is 5 minutes away with a choice of restaurants (we liked El 58 and Fabrik): of course there are tourists but also locals so it does not have the tourist trap feeling you get in the downtown ramblas. Supermarkets are a 10 minutes walk. Notice that the nearby Bonpreu has free parking spots if you want to fill up.
