This appartment was perfect for our stay in Barcelona. It's very clean, comfortable, spacious and ideally located. We could walk to the beach in under 10 mins and yet a metro station, 5 minutes away, took us into the heart of the city or the port within 4 or 5 stops. This isn't the most stylish area but it is the real Barcelona. The beach at Poble Nou was full of the ordinary people of this area enjoying their free time, rather than tourists or stag and hen groups. There are some bars and cafes which seemed fine, but with so much of the rest of the city so easily accessible we barely used them.
Claude was an excellent host. All communication was easy and clear. He met us on time and kept communicating which was reassuring. He organised a taxi for us to leave for the airport which turned up promptly.
I'd thoroughly recommend this appartment. My daughter and I came for 5 nights to celebrate her 21st birthday. I would happily have spent two weeks here!
