The communication before our 6 day arrival went very smooth. We arranged a time for check in and Marzia and Christian awaited us t in the appartment to show us around and give us keys. As we arrived early, we were able to leave our suitcases in the appartment, as it still had to be cleaned. I got a text message when the appartment was ready. The appartment is on the square as in the pictures. It is very well laid out and had plenty of space for the 3 of us, including two separate bedrooms and a large kitchen. That was important to us, as we like to cook and prepare meals. The Poblenou neighborhood is a little distance away from old town Barcelona, and more authentic. The apparment is close to the beach, only a five minute walk, and about ten minutes to the Poblenou metro. There is some activity on the square in front of the appartment, as it seems to be a community meeting place. Kids playing, people meeting and chatting, but in general it was quiet after 10.30 p.m. Marzia and I coordinated to get a few lightbulbs changed, which worked out without any interruption. If we come back to Barcelona, we would definitely consider staying here again!
