Paola is a great host. We felt very welcome, she gave a lots of information about Barcelona and always answered quickly to the questions we had. The flat is awesome, with lovely decorated rooms, and beautiful artistic elements everywhere. It was very quiet and we appreciated the extra attention of some snacks in the fridge :) From the flat, it is just a short walk to the beach and a nice stroll to downtown via the Ramblas de Poblenou, a nice neighbourhood with little cafés everywhere. Public transport stations are just a short walk away. Paola's flat is the perfect place to stay in Barcelona and I highly recommend it!
