A great apartment really well located for exploring Barcelona - 15 minutes walk into the old town, 10 minutes or less to a metro station. The apartment itself was spotless and exactly as described.
The local tips left in the apartment (where to go for breakfast, coffee, dinner etc.) were helpful and accurate. There's so much choice it was useful to know where to start!
The area itself felt safe and friendly; it was quite noisy at night as we were there for a festival period, but the soundproofing in the apartment was good with the windows closed.
