The apartment is located in a newer building....
PROS
* newer apartment with all the amenities
* building was secure and didn't feel unsafe in any way
* less than five minute walk so grocery store and 10 minutes for restaurants in the area
* area is very much a local and not tourist area. Nice to shop and eat at the local places versus the tourist spots
* washer and dryer in our apartment was very helpful
CONS
* the property was not that close to the tourist areas so we spent quite a bit on taxi fares... Since we did not want to take the bus and subway
* not much to do later at night versus when you're in the center of Barcelona
