We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. This is a working class neighborhood, but was very convenient to the touristy locales and felt very safe. The apartment itself was very clean and as photos depict. My one complaint is the shower. The shower was small but mostly laid out such that without extreme care very difficult to contain water in the shower. The head itself sprayed all over the place. Some glass on the back end and a new shower head should get you to 5 stars.
