Everything was exactly as expected and although the location on the map seemed a little out of the way it really isn't once you physically arrive. Super close to two beaches - I regularly walked to the beach at 8am to do morning exercise and swim (grabbing coffee along the way from the cafe across the road). 10 min ride to get to Poblenou Ramblas. The place is nice and bright. Mariano, the host, is also a real gem.
