The views from the attic are something that I did value a lot, to have breakfast or dinner in the terrace with the nice view. We walked everywhere and it was the same distance for the Sagrada Familia and the Gothic area, around 20 minutes, but I am sure with bus would be just a few minutes long. Supermarket and breakfast places just in front of the building. We did not have any problem at all but if there had been I am sure Daniel would have solved it immediately.
