This apartment is in a great location within Poblenou - just a few minutes walk to Las Ramblas and about 5 minutes to the beach as well. Our taxi had no trouble finding it once he put the address into navigation. The windows of the living space open onto a square/plaza so if you like people watching this is a good choice! The windows were fairly good at shutting out the noise (if you are a very light sleeper you are still likely to hear people walking past) though this then meant you couldn't have them open in the night time and we found the house got a little warm without the airflow. There is aircon which operates through the house though. There is a really big supermarket about 5 minutes away (Mercadona) and then a few smaller ones closer by. The apartment was comfortable enough, as were the beds and there was enough space for our family of four. The apartment was also child friendly (2 and 4 yrs old) so we didn't have to worry about things getting broken! The kitchen had lots of pots and pans and oil, spices, plastic wrap etc though it would have been great to have a little more cutlery. There are a few appliances as well but a toaster would be perfect. The bathroom is simple but has a shower and bath and we were provided with lots of clean and fluffy towels. There was also a washing machine to do some laundry as well as an iron and ironing board. Marzia was a lovely host and met us at the house to show us around and to explain where everything was. She had also organized a high chair for little one which was great. She was great to deal with before we even arrived and was very flexible and was open to keeping in touch during our stay. We really liked the area of Poblenou - its easy to get to the main part of Barcelona on the tram or train but its super close the beach and there is plenty going on there without it being as hectic as the main part. Overall we found the apartment to be great value for money.
