I was staying in Barcelona for 10 days for a low key R&R trip. The place was perfect and totally as described. Manuel was helpful getting me acquainted with the neighbourhood and answered any/all questions. The area is more residential, but it was really pleasant and easy to get to via public transit. If the weather is nice, you'll love the terrace. It is huge and gives you an unbeatable view of the city, so much so, that I'd normally come back early each day to chill out there and enjoy the view at sunset.
