Núria's place was very nice and located in a great little neighbourhood that isn't super touristy. Rambla del Poblenou was only 1 block away and had many great restaurants. The beach was only 5 minutes away and it wasn't super busy but it was very nice! Núria and her husband were very sweet and had coffee, tea and toast laid out for us to make ourselves in the morning as well, which was a great added touch. The room was a little small for 3 people but we were only in the room to sleep so it didn't really matter anyways. The Barcelona metro was confusing so we ended up just taking a cab from the airport. The apartment was a little far from sagrada familia and many other attractions, but it was nice to be outside of the tourist areas.
