I really enjoyed my stay at Noemi's apartment. She was a great host - super friendly and helpful - and the room was nice and quiet. The location in Poblenou was great too. It is a quieter area, but she is only a block from the neighbourhood's main pedestrian street, which is full of cafes and restaurants and leads straight to the beach. It's also just a few Metro stops to the centre of the city - a great base from which to explore Barcelona!
