Teresa and Brian's apartment is very comfortable place in which to stay. It's particularly useful that they live next door so any questions/advice can be easily sought. We liked the area around the apartment. It's more family oriented than downtown Barcelona so it's quieter and a great place to chill out after a day out, being a tourist. The area has lots of stores, restaurants and bars. It's close to metro stations and many places of interest are walkable i.e. La Sagrada Familia and the beach.
