The host and his assistant were both very accommodating, hospitable and punctual in their communications. The apartment was lovely/clean as shown in pictures and is in a quiet residential area. Its comfortable and has all modern conveniences.(wifi/t.v/microwave//washing machine/hairdryer). Beds (firm) provide a good night rest. Kitchen/lounge area compact but more than comfortable for 2.
The Poblenou area is a kind of urban with trendy eateries/bars (with life music). Also well connected by bus (1min/various directions), train (10 min), metro (5 min) and taxi (1 min). We walked everywhere with beach within 10/15 minutes reach, and centre c. 30 minutes. We preferred to walk the backstreets to enjoy the architecture, weather and tucked away little food places, local markets and coffee places. Lovely time in a lovely place. Would definitely recommend this place.
