Staying at Anders place was a good choice. Anders was really helpful and available when we contacted him. As for the area, we found it quite nice; it's really close to carrer de blai, a street which is ideal if u want to go out to drink and eat something without having to go too far away. It is also very well comunicated for going to the airport, montjuic and to the centre, as it is pretty close to plaça Espanya. So, to sum up, the apartment is just as it looks in the pictures and located in an area that makes it easy to visit Barcelona!
