Great location 1 block from Ramblas de Poblenou and a short walk to the beach. There are a couple of great restaurants very close by too. Try Can Den De for a spectacularly good brunch.
However, before renting this place check on the status of the construction across the road. It was really noisy during our stay which made the apartment poor value for money. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/ppw64bcr3cxysw2/File%2025-08-2016%2C%2012%2037%2019.mov?dl=0
