Daniel met our cab as we pulled up from the airport. He was very pleasant and informative about the apartment and Barcelona. We were apprehensive about the looks of the street were the apartment was located. It is is a industrial/not so nice of an area. But within a very short distance is the Rambla del Poblenou which was full of restaurants and shops. Once we got to know the neighborhood, we didn't feel unsafe and did walk the streets at night. The apartment was compact. There was little room for sitting in the living area. The street was very loud at night. But it did have all that we needed. The bathroom was modern and the place was clean. the air conditioning also came in handy.
