Mercedes apartment was perfectly situated; 10mins walk from the beach and metro + on the edge of Poblenou which has everything you need. Mercedes was very welcoming & helpful throughout, perfect host! Her place is spacious and comfortable. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the neighbours were doing DIY whilst we were staying so this was very noisy plus the bin lorrys are loud overnight, earplugs are needed if you're a light sleeper like me.
