Good place very close to the park guell. Note that it is part way up the hill towards the park from the main road (where the metro stop is) so does involve a short walk up a relatively steep incline on the way home from visiting anything. Not a biggie for us and we had a 1 year old and my wife is also pregnant, though could be a issue for those with mobility concerns or if you are just plain lazy and unfit. Not an issue just something to be aware of.
Shops, bakeries, supermarkets, pharmacies all withing a 2-5 min walk down the hill to the main road, as was the Metro which is an easy 10 mins and then another 10 min ride into the central downtown area.
Didn't try the local cafeterias and restaurants though there where some options if you didn't want to take the metro into town.
Master bed was very comfy and the whole apartment has been recently renovated. All the equipment needed for a short stay. There is a locked communal area on the roof which was good for drying clothes.
