Daniel's place is in the middle of a nice residential district. The apartment is a little hard to find, especially after dark. It's between Passeig de Sant Joan, Avinguda Diagonal, and Passeig de Gracia. I always try to find Avinguda Diagonal first, and then find the apartment. It's close to several major tourist attractions, metrostations, supermarkets, restaurants, and major avenues of Barcelona. It's about ten minute walk to Casa Mila or La Sagrada Familia. The apartment is very neat and private, with nice kitchen and bathrooms. Bedrooms are comfy with large bed and closet. It's a long walk (about one hour) to the old city. However the metro subway is right next to nearby Casa Mila and you can easily take L3 green train down 3 stops to La Rambla and old city, or 4 stops to sea. Rambla de Catalunya has restaurants line up all the way. The area around Daniel's apartment is very nice. It's not tourist traps like La Rambla area. It's very pleasant to check out surrounding small local bakeries and restaurants. Almost all of them accept credit cards, though many of them have five euro limit for using credit cards. Barcelona is a very walkable city with good subway and bus systems. The city map can be confusing since it's not oriented with up north and down south, but up the hill and down to sea. It's takes some getting use to. About half the streets are either parallel to sea or going straight up/down hill. As long as you know the Diagonal, Passeig de Sant Joan, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, La Rambla, and Passeig de Gracia, you won't be lost.
