The apartment was really very nice and clean, exactly as described. There is not a lot going on in the neighbourhood (few bars, restaurants, but enough supermarkets and a 24h-pharmacy), but busses and metro are close. The street and the elevator are noisy, but hey, Barcelona is a loud city. We really liked that there was everything in the apartment that you could possibly need when you are on vacation, like some food in the fridge, coffee, a hairdryer, maps, meds, even a cigarre, etc. Biggest bonus: The lovely terrace.
