Had a great stay here in Poble-Sec (neighborhood) this area is very central to all you want to do and see. Everything is either to the left or right of this area so it’s very Central. About 10-15 bus ride to get to the beach and same route takes you to las ramblas area and nightclub area near Barceloneta beach. This is a shared location but almost feels private as you cannot hear others in apartment. The lady Angela was very sweet and gave us many tips on things nearby. The metro is very useful aswell. About 30 minutes to get to airport, no hassles
