The apartment is well connected thanks to the nearby metro stations of St Gervasi-Molina (lines L6 andL7) and the slightly more distant station of Fontana (line L3). There is also an even closer bus stop but we used only the metro.
Small markets (including one opened 24h) are available in a few hundred meters range, and in the same range there is plenty of restaurants and bars.
The apartment itself is lovely: a third floor flat in a rather small building with two bedrooms, two bathrooms (very convenient), a small but well furnished kitchen, a wide living area and, above all, a wonderful terrace of about 25 m2.
Given the climate in Barcellona the terrace can probably be enjoyed during most of the year, and in my opinion it alone makes this apartment a must.
Judging from some details like the tiles running up to the ceiling in the bathrooms the flat dates approximately from the 80s and a few details here and there betrays its age (mainly the internal doors and the bathtub), but these are really trifles: it is clean, with excellent new external doors and windows, electric motored blinds everywhere and excellent lightning.
The kitchen could have a few more pottery or cooking tools, but it sports a big fridge with freezer, an electric oven, a gas kitchen and a microwave oven, plus a small but efficient dishwasher. A fullsized washing machine is also present in a sheltered area on the terrace, where one can also find a powerful vacuum cleaner. An iron and its ironing board are also present, as well as an hairdryer.
The entertainment section sports a 32 inch smart TV, with Spanish channels and Netflix.
The internet connection is fast enough to allow HD Netflix streaming, but the wifi is rather weak in one of the bedrooms, or at least so it was during our staying.
Albeit the location is outside the most renown touristic places of Barcelona, Plaça de Catalunya is reachable with a metro voyage time of about 6 minutes, and the lovely area of Villa Gracia with its shops and village atmosphere is within easy walking reach.
The host was very precise in providing us with the reference of a contact person, who was already on site when we arrived and ready and willing to answer all of our questions.
The only small issue is that later in our stay we texted this person with questions about minor issues and we received no answer: it is true that the issues were minor and we explicitly stated so in the messages, but nevertheless even a simple acknowledgement of our messages would have been appreciated.
This notwithstanding, the experience was extremely pleasant and statisfying, and we definitely plan to repeat it in the future.
