Sha and Lydia were in constant touch and helped enormously by helping us accommodate another guest who needed somewhere to stay at the last minute - and a day early! The Poblenou area of Barcelona is full of interesting places to eat, not too far from Barcelonetta and delightfully close to the sea where we were able to take an evening swim - in mid October! Bus and metro connections are easy. We stayed four nights and our Airbnb experience only confirmed what a great city Barcelona is.
