Very well positioned - an easy 10-15 minute walk to Las Ramblas - with some lovely restaurants in the near vicinity. We recommend 365 for breakfasts, El Nou, and Burger Central for light meals, and Antic Cafe Espanyol for a really excellent meal. The apartment is small, but perfectly equipped for a family (we were two adults and two children). One needs to use this as a base from which to explore the city, rather than somewhere to spend full days - we got cabin-fever very quickly! One tip: close the roll-down shutters at night, as the street is well-lit, and can be very noisy (particularly over weekends!).
