A very nice and cozy apartment. Well located, well-equipped and everything worked - several nice parks nearby, walk to the very nice zoo, bus stops are around the corner and the Born (fun, interesting and very lively) is 10 minutes on foot (I asked 10 people who claimed to live in the Born why it's called that - no one had any idea). Some guys were playing petanque in the park on Saturday and let me play a game - it's very popular in France and fun (broadcast live on TV); those guys were good! The Picasso museum is 15 minutes on foot - also in the Born.
A very nice grocery store is just down the street. At the Arch d Triomph transit station, just up the street, you can catch a train to/from the Sant station (main Barcelona train station) or the airport - train to the airport was €4.20- that's what we paid. The taxi was about €30 - depending on traffic, the train might be faster too - they come pretty frequently.
The only minor issues - the bed is full-size so if you're used to a queen or larger, you might feel a little cramped, especially if you're six feet like me; my mistake for assuming. Also, the shower never got really hot - just pretty warm. I assume it's a 'safety' feature as the water in the kitchen sink got very hot. And, some people don't like hot showers.
All in all, a very nice, quiet, homey/comfortable and well-located apartment. Highly recommended!
