Area is very nice and safe, public transit is on the same street, there are pharmacies on the way up to the apartment and about half a mile away there is a street with nice restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Park Güel is also about a few blocks away. If you are planning to walk around Barcelona, keep in mind this place is uphill, so it is a little bit tiring to get home. The apartment is on the lower floor so it wasn't hard to bring luggage in. The place is small but equipped. Bathroom is a little uncomfortable. TOILET PAPER OR PAPER TOWEL IS NOT INCLUDED! We also did not have hand soap or dish detergent which was very inconvinient. The owners were very nice.
