If you’re looking for a great location only 5 mins walk to the beach (as close as you can get!) this is perfect. Would recommend much more than the Barceloneta area. The apartment is clean and functional, it’s ideal for a couple / small family or group of friends who aren’t looking for anything luxurious or with a particularly special atmosphere. The reception staff are friendly & helpful (in the building opposite). Walls are quite thin so you can hear footsteps from upstairs and loud talking from the corridor outside and garbage trucks in the night so not best for light sleepers but we weren’t disturbed by any loud guests, parties or drunk people / tourists from outside as it’s a residential area. There is a strict no party policy which seemed to be adhered to by all guests during our stay! Lots of good cafes, bars and restaurants on the main Rambla very nearby for food and drink open morning until night (Bar Nuria on Rambla de Poblenou is great) Nolita, Can Dendê and Little Fern all favourite breakfast spots 8 min taxi or 15 min walk away. There was only availability for a flat that sleeps 3-4 people so it was not the best value for me and my boyfriend, slightly cheaper than a hotel but location was ideal so made up for that. Thank you.
