You can't beat the location. Right on one of the main streets of the Vila de Gracia neighborhood, which is the most authentic neighborhood of Barcelona, where you can find mostly locals. There are several supermarkets less than 5 minutes walk, one of them just next door. Lots of places nearby to eat, drink or just hang-out with friends. In two minutes walk you find the emblematic Cines Verdi, which opened in 1926, and shows only movies in original language version and mostly independent or European. A nice 20-30 walk will take you to Passeig de Gracia, but if you prefer to take public transport the metro is just 5-10 mins away and will take you directly there or the old town.
The apartment itself is as shown in the photos. The spaces are quite big and the decoration minimal. It was very clean. The bed was a bit soft but comfortable. Internet connection was fast and worked well, suitable if you need to work from there. The area is very quiet. The self-checkin without key was quite convenient and we didn't have any issues with it.
