Marco and Charles' apartment was absolutely pristine. It's a beautiful apartment with all the necessary amenities. Although, considering we had two suitcases (one very large, one small) the bedroom left little room to spread things out, easy fix though. One more note. The staircase up is a struggle if you have a large and/or heavy suitcase. My husband carried up our 40lb+ case up the narrow steps and back down again when we left. It's also pitch black going down the stairwell if you're heading out past dark. But, the Poblenou area is fantastic and we had an easy time finding the local transit and it's just a 10 minute walk to the beach!
