Very good location, really near the city center. ( you can get city center for 7-9 euros by taxi and if you wish to get there by train your have 3 mins to nearest metro station called POBLENOU, follow L4 and then change the line at VERDEGUER to L5 and after 1 stop you can get SAGRADA FAMILIA that is almost city center) the home has easy access to beach (around 10 mins walk ).the quality was as I expected and was match the picture that Mark uploaded on the website.he was a nice guy who knows the barcelona city well and could offer us good places we need to go. The only thing that I need to mention is that in my opinion if you want to stay there you need to bring a sheet for the bed.
