My daughter and I spend a week in Cristinas home in Poblenou. Cristina is a very sweet and hospitable woman and made us feel very at home in her apartment. The room was nice and everything was as described. Its a ten minute walk in slow pace to a very nice Beach, that takes you through the Rambla Poblenou. The area is nice with lots of cafes. Its a two minute walk to the metro and there is a big shopping mall two stops away. I Can Highly recommend a stay here.
