The positives: light airy living area with small but usable verandas catching sun in morning and afternoon. Very comfortable beds. Five minutes to the beach. Bus stop right outside door. La Rambla Poblenou around the corner is great.
Negatives: not Mediterranean chic, more homely holiday house near the beach. No bathroom privacy, toilet sliding door would not close. Toilet seat very wobbly. Be careful booking in September as there is a temporary amusement park right across the street which is very noisy and goes to after midnight. Also a big outdoor beach concert for a couple of nights which is very loud and goes to around 2am.
