Anna was a wonderful host and the apartment is nicely situated within 5-10 minutes walk of the beach, many local restaurants, and the metro. The area is more residential and less touristy but it is super easy to get anywhere you want to go.
Anna made check in very easy and lives just a couple blocks away so is available if anything is needed. She helped orient us to the area. The only small concern we had was that the apartment is really one large studio versus two bedrooms. There are screens and the areas are separated by the bathroom, but they are not as private as a regular bedroom if that is important to you.
Barcelona is a great city with such a variety of things to do ... I highly recommend a visit here.
