The location of this apartment is excellent. You are right on La Rambla Poblenou, with restaurants and bars close by, steps away from catching a bus or taxi, and across the street from the beach. However, this is a first floor apartment with no screens on the windows, and the neighborhood has lots of cockroaches in the summer. This means that if you want air in the apartment, you have to leave the windows open. Once night starts to approach, cockroaches can enter through the windows or under the front door. The apartment had been sprayed, which is good, but my wife is deathly afraid of the sight of them and did not sleep well through our whole stay. The location is excellent, though. We suffered in heat, in order to keep the windows closed, and that made our stay less pleasant.
