If you like walking, this is the place for you. We walked into the city - 50 minutes but the Metro is only 5 min walk and the tram is across the road if you prefer. Lots of fabulous places to eat within a 10 minute walk. Poblenou Ramblas is beautiful. 10 minute walk to the beach. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and Albert was the perfect host. Very friendly and knowledgable and always ready to help. It was good to stay a little way from the hordes of tourists in the middle of Barcelona. Book a Devour Barcelona Tapas and Flamenco tour while you're here. A highlight of our trip.
