Great location in a more residential area with families and older folks living in the area- making it quite safe compare to other spots in Barcelona. Plenty of restaurants and Cafes in that area. I recommend Cafe Caldas for good prices and a friendly proprietor! Super easy access to the rest of BCN from Mercat Nou metro station or the Sants station which is a slightly further walk but no trouble at all.
The apartment was perfect for my friend and I. We stayed two weeks and never had issues with space. Great air conditioning unit- kept us cool during the hot summer days in Barcelona.
