For safety reasons, go with apartments that are let by legitimate companies and who clearly display their Barcelona Tourism Number.
One of the best advantages of renting an apartment over a hotel, especially if you're with a group, is that you have common living areas to hang out and unwind at the end of the day.
Barcelona has a few wonderful Boquerias where you can purchase fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and fish. It's a great experience to shop for and then prepare your own dinner.
