I have all good things to say about this apartment. To be concise, the pictures and descriptions of the apartment are accurate. I loved opening up the balcony doors to the din of the street and the smell of fresh baked pastries. The street has less vehicle traffic because of the city traffic patterns. There are benches, chess tables, and even a small playground on the street. The immediate neighborhood (2-3 block radius) is great in many ways. Excellent restaurants (Braseros & Asoc.!), fruit/veg shops, playgrounds, independent retail stores. Everything you need is within a 5 minute walk. The poble sec L3 metro is close, not to mention plenty of buses including the Aerobús (10 min walk). Overall, we had a great experience and would easily recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a truly relaxing place to stay in Barcelona.
