The location of the apartment is excellent - exactly where a first-time visitor to Barcelona would want to stay. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. As noted by others, the host was not very responsive to messages before and during our stay. (Note to visitors - to get out of the metal gate in the lobby, look for a tiny button to the left of the gate as you look "out". This wasn't mentioned to us on orientation, and the host didn't respond to messages regarding how we were supposed to leave through a locked gate on checkout after leaving the key. We had to figure this out on our own.) All in all, it was still a very good stay.
