I stay in Poblenou about four times a year, at various Airbnb. This location was great, close to the rambla and grocery stores, as well as the metro station. A bit far from the beach, but that was ok since it was a bit cold for the beach in November. The best features of the apartment were the cleanliness and the quietness. Many bathrooms in Poblenou are moldy, and this bathroom was clean. The apartment is on a courtyard rather than streetside, which made a huge difference in quietness, and therefore my ability to sleep.
