The apartment is basic and very clean, not hugely charming but very functional. The roof terrace although quite nice (although not entirely private as it was divided by a bit of a thin partition from the neighbours) is actually separate to the apartment and you have to go out of the front door and through another door to get onto it. This made it a little redundant for us as the whole family (5) would have to be either on the roof terrace or in the flat for safeties sake, so we sadly didn't use it which was disappointing. The location is good and is a good but entertaining 20 mins walk from Las Ramblas. There appears to be a market place being renovated just round the corner, depending on what that will end up selling (hopefully food and wares) it will make the location really good. It is great for the metro etc. too. The lady that let us in was really lovely and told us much about the local area with recommendations. THE BEST bit about the apartment that made it all worth it was the access for the car park for 15 Euros a night, a big bonus and we got to leave it there on the day we had to check out at 11am so we could go and do things before coming back and driving to the airport. All in all a good stay.
