The apartment of Frederic & Maritza is as in the pictures and in the description. We had in the immediate vicinity two small supermarkets. The bakery was a bit longer (10 minutes) on the way but it's worth it. The Rambla de Poblenou is also not far away, there you can eat something in the evening. The apartment is located in a quiet environment, with some small playgrounds nearby. Also, the connection to public transport is perfect. It is not only possible to take the metro, but also the tram and the bus. The way to the beach, 10-15 minutes with the children (7 and 10 years) then already far, if one in the morning the city visited. But the beach section is a lot nicer than if you at Barcelonetta to the beach. So for us the apartment was great.
