We really enjoyed our stay at Jose and Patricia’s place. The apartment is located in the El Poblenou area in Barcelona. We personally loved the area and the Ramblas nearby. It’s only about a 15 min walk to the beach. There were so many wonderful restaurants, and it had a very local feel and was less crowded which was nice. We ate at El 58 and Mea De Vi and loved both of them. The location is only about 20 to 30 minutes by public transportation or walking to the major tourist attractions in the city. Would highly recommend!
