We really enjoyed our stay, the place is just as nice as the pictures suggest. The apartment is in El Pobleneu, just west of central Barcelona (20 minutes in a taxi to the Gothic Quarter). The beach is only two minutes away. There are plenty of great restaurants and shops around the Rambla del Pobleneu, which has a real buzz about it. Flor gave us a tour and made us feel very welcome. She was happy to answer any questions we had.
