Staying at Monica's was a real treat as it was not only a great room but my host really took time to make me feel welcome and give me tips about Barcelona and the local area of Pablenou.
Thanks to her, I saw parts of Barcelona I wouldn't otherwise have. This included cool cafés and restaurants plus local attractions and tips on getting the best out of my stay.
Very easy access by metro but also walkable during nice weather. I had bought a metro pass but enjoyed walking to and from the flat.
The area of Pablenou is close to the beach and has a lively Ramblas too.
