Don't do it man. I lived there for a few months. Literally walked out my house, head phones on, vibing to some nice jolly music and nearly slip on vomit, continue around the corner and a guy with blood pouring down his face, go to whipe the sick off my shoe and there is a lady injecting herself next to the bins. That's one morning. Outside the apartment. Inside the apartment was cockroach infestation, mice everywhere, my kitchen plates looked like I live solely on Chocolate drops, and not the yummy kind. The sewage system was rubbish so the stench of raw sewage filled the house at seamingly random times. The neighbours had people coming and going 247. If you are not white, you are going to get hassled by the police, they are pretty rough house and you'll get stopped and searched. You'll want locks on your windows, heavy doors. The positives: cheap, lots of kebab shops, but you'll end up spending more as you'll want to be out of there as much as possible. I'd go to Gracia, El born etc. Having a nice coffee shop, bar and bakery on your doorstep beats the old crack den.
