Marcela is a great host & designer! She explained very detail about how to get to her home, and prepared a diner for us *^__^* the apartment is adorable and I love the decoration sooo much! Safe neighborhood, some boutiques, plus only 4 stops from plaza Catalunya (or you can go to LA Rambla by walk). It's a good choice if you want to stay in a quiet area instead of noisy city center(I think this area is super nice :p), it's a good choice! I like Marcela's tapas
