Despite our very late arrival time (and having been slightly delayed at the airport), Eduardo was there to greet us and quickly show us around, explain how to reach various amenities locally and check we were ok with everything. Leading up to arrival he made regular contact so that we were able to be sure of what to do.
The apartment was clean and well equipped. The local area is fantastic. Very authentic, laid-back and even though there was some building and road works in progress nearby, very quiet.
The beach is literally 5 minutes walk across the road, and it's easy to walk the whole length of this stretch of coast to the more busy areas of Barceloneta, and even into the city centre, which we did one evening.
We didn't use the metro, although it was nearby, but found taxi's easy to get and cheap. A great spot!
