Hidden Gem is on the ground floor with windows overlooking the beautiful small square as in the picture. The apartment is well located within a 5 minute walk to beach , a less than five minute walk to Plasseig de Calvell with H16 bus taking one right into the city and Placa de Catalunya , and a 10 to 15 min walk to the Poblenou metro. Also very close by are supermarkets and the Rambla del Poblenou with a wide choice of places to eat out. Hidden Gem is located in a residential neighbourhood giving one a good feel of local life. It was quite novel and enjoyable having windows open right onto the square, a small public space with benches , water fountain and upmarket fish restaurant on the opposite side. Double glazed windows and shutters isolated out the chatter and play when one needed a rest. The apartment is modern, clean with comfortable beds and well equipped with everything needed for cooking and washing. Marzia and Dario replied to all correspondence within an hour .
