Great place to stay, Parallel was a great area with lots of restaurants & bars nearby plus only 10mins walk to lots of other areas. Metro was at the bottom of the street and easy to use with a Barcelona Card. Montjuic behind you on the hill was also an easy walk with great views. Susana was a great host! Apartment was spacious, quiet and has its own clothes washer on the deck in a laundry cupboard so got some washing done too!
