Great location--easy walk to metro station so you can get to anywhere in Barcelona, but nice to be in a quieter, less crowded neighborhood. Safe & clean area, with several good restaurants and bars (we especially liked Recasens and Madame George) on or near the Rambla de Poblenou nearby; there are also a lot of places to pick up fresh bread, pastries, and fruit. Easy to walk to the beach as well.

We emailed in advance and Jepis & Pepe made it easy to check in and out. They had quite a bit of sightseeing information and local maps waiting for us to make it easier to find our way around. It was also nice that there was a washing machine, iron, and hair dryer in the apartment. We had a great time, definitely recommend!
