This place was all I was hoping for and more! By far my best airbnb experience to date, and I've had many good ones. Monica is a great host and her place is beautiful. The neighborhood of Poble Nou was perfect for the kind of holiday I was looking for, which was to relax by the beach and enjoy some quiet. However, it is also very easy to get into the city on the train from this apartment, so it was perfect for going out exploring during the day or out in the city at night. The private balcony was a bliss as I could enjoy my breakfast and coffee in the morning and sometimes my lunch as well. The place is spotless and the shower pressure is great! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience in Barcelona living with a local and enjoying some quiet in the craziness of the city!
