Very nice location, close to city beach (a few minutes' walk). I think only hotels are closer. Shops are a few hundred meters away to buy more food, so keep in mind that everyday shopping is rather 30 minutes than a few :) But the district is not touristic - so it gives you a great quiet atmosphere, you can really feel like living in Spain, not visiting a tourist area full of noisy people taking photos :)
Visiting city center means taking tram+metro or bus, so it is 30-40 minutes travel.
Great place for a rest for a few days, especially when you plan to go to the beach, not only visit some "must-see" attractions in the center!
