The apartment is clean, peaceful, very light and spacious and has pretty much everything you require for a great stay. We enjoyed the large sunny terrace overlooking the pool (it does slope down at the end, so those with a fear of heights/falling may struggle with it), the pool looked great although we didn't use it on our stay - no need as the beach is a 15/20 minute walk away.

The area (Poblenou) is great and the apartment is just around the corner from the main Rambla de Poblenou, there are a few bars and restaurants on here, if you fancy staying local (We tried Milka Milan and SiamoQuà, both were pretty good).

There is a handy shopping centre across Avenida Diagonal, that is home to a huge supermarket and a nice little market space downstairs, there are eateries and a clothes shops there too.

If you fancy splashing out, it's a short walk to Melia Sky hotel their bar has great views, the cocktails are pricey (but strong).

In terms of getting around, the apartment is a 10/15 minute walk to either Glories, Poblenou or Llacuna metro stations - also by Llacuna station is a cute little restaurant called Can Dende, the food, drinks and service are all great - recommend it for brunch!

All in all a great apartment, in a good area in a wonderful city - enjoy!
