The place is as good a location as you can possible get in Barcelona - literally steps away from the metro, train, airport bus, etc. The apartment is in a very nice and safe building. It's difficult to judge objectively how expensive it is as our rental happened to occur during the 'World Mobile Congress' when all the rentals in Barcelona are grossly inflated. My only complaint is about the check-in and check-out times (17:00 and 11:00 respectively). However, I should add that we were able to arrange to drop off the luggage in the apartment at 13:00. Quim is an excellent host, who responds to all inquiries and questions very quickly.
