What a great apartment! We stayed a month in this but great apartment, and we enjoyed it a lot. This apartment has an amazing view of the city. I could just sit for hours looking out of the window, enjoying the view. It is a very local area away from tourists - and still, just 10 mins walk to park güell. It is easy to get to downtown, with one of the the two buses that go just from the end of the street. And be sure to take them back as well, it will save you many stairs and hills :)
