I stayed for a week with my parents in Paola's Llull apartment in December 2014, and we had an amazing time!
Paola was waiting for us at the right time and gave us a lot of useful informations about city and the neighborhood. She also welcomed us with nice breads and fresh fruits! The apartment was unique, beautiful, and well equipped. We immediately felt like we were at home. Moreover you can see the sunrise through the window.
The location couldn't be better: away from busy tourist spots but you can easily get to the all the tourist attraction in 10~15 mins by metro( Metro station is 3mins walikng). Poblenou was very attractive area itself, full nice restaurents and shops, we could easily find everything we need. We took a walk to the beach sometimes, it took less than 10 mins to walk there.
Paola was winderful host, accessible and helpful in any time. She checked several times if there‘s something we need.
I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends!
