This was a fantastic experience. Ryanair had cancelled our flight the day before so we arrived two days later than expected. Our hosts were very accommodating and very welcoming when we got there. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed to be able to cook while there. The sun on the balcony in the evening was also fantastic. Perfect location for public transport. A bit noisy at night but everywhere in Barcelona is as all windows are single glazing. That shouldn't put you off though. The area is a pretty quite area compared to the centre. Great to explore the beach!
