We had a wonderful time at Noemyh’s place. She was the perfect host – available when we needed something, yet invisible when we were going about our own way. Noemyh provided lots of useful information and handy tips on getting around in Barcelona. The location of her apartment is ideal: one street over from Rambla del Poblenou with its many shops and restaurants, and indeed close to the beach. The city centre and old city are a short bus or bike ride away, but we did the latter as Barcelona is a bicyle-friendly city (there is a good bike rental place on Rambla del Poblenou).
The combination bedroom/living room/outside terrace was ideal for our week-long stay, as we had a lot of living space. The shared bathroom and kitchen were kept clean on a daily basis. Because the guest room is at the back of the apartment we had little to no street noise. The rooms were modestly yet tastefully furnished, with racks full of (English-language) books on Barcelona, design, fashion, and so on. We can highly recommend Noemyh as a host.
