I stayed here in March and it was so lovely and quiet in the neighbourhood. It's a gorgeous apartment - so clean and well decorated, and the view from the balcony is brill. There's 2 shops nearby too so you don't have to travel too far for anything. It's really easy to get to everything from there, especially Park Guell which is a 5 min walk up the road. I would definitely suggest taking a taxi or the metro there when you land - not that it is difficult to get to, but just because the buses are constantly stopping and starting. Alfons X (metro station) is really close by so it makes life easy, and there is an app called Citymapper which is a lifesaver too!
