The location is excellent if you like to visit the Segrada Familia (12mins walk), Park Guell (15mins walk), or jump onto the Metro (1min walk and 5mins metro) into the Gothic Quarter. Also walking around the area quickly gets you to the squares and parcs where Barcelonean Families go to eat and hang out.
We could not have wished for a better placed apartment. Not too close to the busy and loud centre and not too far away to be a trek to get in.
Loved it!
