The apartment is about 20 or so minutes from the airport (in early Saturday morning non-existent traffic). Its on a quiet street just 2 short blocks from the beach! The apartment is a walk-up, on the second floor.
Rosa met me at the apartment the morning I arrived in Barcelona and had kindly helped carry my luggage upstairs for me. She carefully explained the neighbourhood and surrounding areas - where the 2 nearest Metro stations are, supermarket, etc and also recommended nice places to eat (indeed her recommendations were spot on!)
The apartment itself is very very nice, clean, comfortable and is equipped with everything you would need in your home away from home. Rosa has thought of and provided for everything.
The area, Pobleneu is a pleasant residential area, with parks and lots of small family-owned establishments. La Rambla de Pobleneu is great to visit, much calmer than Las Ramblas in the city centre.
I can say so much more about the place but in short, Rosa's apartment is perfect - for comfort, location, safety, convenience, value and especially, the experience to live like a local.
I highly recommend her place and would also not hesitate to stay here when I come to Barcelona again. Muchas gracias, Rosa.
