Great location - in close proximity to almost everything, but away from main tourist crowds. You can see Arc de Triomf from balcony 50m away.
Apartment is in fairly good shape, its not new and not stylish, however its cool in own way.
Friendly hosts.
When they say no parties - they really do mean that.
Special feature: temperature is naturally lower than on outside, so it can save you from hot summer day, even without turning on air-conditioning.
