The neighborhood is very nice, with local bakeries everywhere and a big supermarket two minutes away. The plaza espanya was a walking distance away. The metro station is also very close. The apartment was very neat and nice. The only two minuses of the apartment was that it's a little noisy due to the cars parking right below the window and the fact that the bedroom does not have a window. Regardless of those two things, we had a great time there, the host was extremely nice and provided all kinds of things in the apartment.
