Claude'swife waited for us at the apartment and met us at the street entrance. She gave a thorough explaination of the aprtment and electrical equipment, also telling us about local markets, restaurants and giving us advice on booking tickets for the tourists attractions online. The fridge was filled with juice, water++ 2 bottles of welltasting Riojas. The pictures gives an accurate impression of the apartment, which was clean with light colors, equipped with modern appliances. As our plane left late in the afternoon Claude let us stay some extra hours at the apartment, nice!! Beach is close by, the rambla of Poblenou is excellent for experiencing street restaurants in the evenings, and in 10-15 min using the metro your in the center of the city. This place is excellent for experiencing both beach and urban life.
