This apartment is exactly where you want to be. Restaurant surrand the apartment building so very easy to grab a quick bite to eat. There is also an Irish pub across the street to hang out and grab a cold one.
La Rambla is one block away which has every store imaginable. Takes about 20min to walk it all the way down to the beach. Where you can grab a rickshaw ride back or grab a cab.
Access to the tourist buses, local buses and subway all with a 3min walk.
A few block north and you are right in the designer high end stores.
