The apartment is located in a residential area. It provided us with a good place to rest after days of sightseeing and made us feel "more local". The nearby metro makes everything easily accessible. While the apartment could use some fresh paint, it was clean and comfortable and we really liked staying there. There was a little street noise from motorbikes but it did not bother us. And the automatic blinds were wonderful! The hosts provided a baby chair on request (thank you!)
While the listing states "Free parking", parking was across the street and it was not free. It was not an issue for us, since we only parked our rental for one night but can get pricey if longer.
Try "El Bar" on the corner, they serve delicious food and their service was great.
We will definitely stay again when in Barcelona.
