This is a great location for transit (close to two metro stops) which means you can get ANYWHERE easily. Get a pass for x days, ride everywhere. It is hard to beat. The little market next door was open until 11:30pm, and had fresh fruit, water and basic items. The are also two supermarkets very near. We (couple in our 60s) felt very safe in the area. We enjoyed the many sidewalk bars and bistros in the immediate neighborhood. If you know Barcelona, this is a splendid place with full apartment amenities. Not fancy but clean and roomy.
