Teresa was a fine host, and her place was an excellent base for visiting Barcelona. The neighborhood was indeed quiet, fairly close to beach & the apartment was quite spacey by European standards as well as in good order. It was better than I allowed myself to expect. Being on a alley to the Rambla Poble Nou, in just a few steps you have an array of places for excellent food and tables in or out. It is a brief walk, about six short blocks, to the Metro that connects you all around the city.

I highly recommend this place, and already have friends who, comparing it to the place that they rented, wish to book it in the future.
