Poblenou is near enough to Barcelona city centre but far enough to enjoy this more chilled neighbourhood with its own long pedestrianised Rambla full of cafes and restaurants and ending at a nice beach. Loved this less touristy neighbourhood. The flat is clean and comfortable with a nice sized balcony overlooking the swimming pool. Friendly building staff too. Romina is an excellent host who is easily reachable and responds quickly to any concerns.
