Living on a boat was an unusual experience for me and my husband but thanks to Antonio it went out smoothly, just perfect. His friend Jose met us and drove to the boat, showed everything and was very welcoming. The area of Port Olimpic is quiet and secure, but there are many restaurants around as well. It's just 20 mins walk to El Born area with the cutest little bars and designer shops.
The nearest beach is totally OK for the public one and is less crowded than Barceloneta (but still :). There is a supermarket across the road. The boat itself is tiny and charming. Shower / WC building is 50 meters from the pier and they clean it 3 times a day.
For Wi-Fi we bought cards at Port Olimpic's administrative building, 10 Euro/7 days.
We enjoyed staying at Antonio's boat, meeting neighbors and sunbathing on the boat's deck. It was a great experience!
