The place is very close to the beach, and the center of the city is just a few metro stops away. Five of us stayed there for two nights without feeling overcrowded. There are also supermarkets, restaurants and shops nearby; the area is very peaceful and not as hectic as the city center. The only problem we encountered was during our last day. The hosts only give one key to the apartment because apparently guests tend to loose the spare. Our group of five got separated; three of us wanted to go back to the apartment from la Sagrada Familia, while two wanted to stay there for longer. The group of two accidentally kept the key. I texted the host to see if it was possible for her to let us in, we had low battery on our phones and the other half of the group wasn't going to come back for another two hours. She saw the message and didn't reply. It's one thing to tell us she was busy and couldn't make it, and another to ignore us completely. Other than that, everything was fine.
