Neighborhood is more local than touristic, which means is full of local fruit and vegetable markets and small places where you can eat or drink something. It's in a very good area - 30-40 minutes walking to City of arts and science (Ciutat de les arts i les ciencies) or to the old part of the city (where are la Seu or Porte de Serrano), also well connected by buses with the entire city (if you walk 10-15 minutes you can take one bus to the beach - good to know if you travel on a low budget).
The loft was clean and everything you could need to enjoy your stay - it looked just like the photos.
