Nice quiet location. Approximately 30 minutes from the Port Vell. Public transport is very good - bus V17 to centre just outside the door, Metro a couple of minutes walk. Nowhere close by for an evening meal - you need to take transport.
It suited us fine as transport is cheap - approximately 10€ for 10 journey Bono.
2 Steep stairs from road to main room of apartment. One bedroom down another steep flight so not suitable for people with limited mobility.
Nice patio/ balcony which gets morning sun for breakfast al fresco. Bakers just a few doors away- baking bread so lovely fresh bread / croissants etc - Mmmmm.
Furnishings are old but the apartment is very clean.
Jesus was a great host ,easy to contact by phone ( not that we needed to apart from telling him that we were on the Metro and arriving soon and arranging check out). He provided lots of useful information about the immediate area and Barcelona in general.
We would stay again as the apartment was very good value.
If you need to be in the middle of things in a lively central location this is not your choice
