This was our fourth summer in El Poblenou and the first in an appartment. Everything was fabulous and as described. The appartment is spacious with two fabulous balconies/ terraces and wonderfully designed to make the most use of the space. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need and with a bathroom and a shower room there was no problem in staying for our 10 day vacation. Mercedes meet us warmly at the appartment and was in regular contact through our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mercedes and the appartment to anyone looking to stay in a peaceful neighbourhood with full access to the beach and the city.
