Pictures doesn't do justice to this apartment, it is much bigger than photos show, and very nice and convenient especially in travelling with children (we have two small kids, ages of 1,5 and 4,5 years). The pool in yard is a very mine one and popular on hot days. There is a bit of a walk to the beach (20 mins) as well as to the nearest metro station (15 mins). The area of Poblenou is very different to for example Gracia. Very international and more business-like, with lively after work get togethering at the Rambla of Poblenou. Apartment itself is very recommendable and Brian and Teresa the most kind and flexible hosts you could wish for!
