The apartment is in a great location with a street level entrance on a pedestrian walkway. Gracia is a great neighborhood to stay in. Happened to unexpectedly to catch the Festa de Sant Medir on my first morning in the flat. There might be some noise at night when people walk by, but if you are accustomed to city living, it is manageable. The pictures of the apartment are fairly representational. While I never met Joana in person, she was able to coordinate with my friend easily to get the key and also responded to my inquiries quickly via the Airbnb system.
