We loved this wonderful little apartment, very convenient for sightseeing, the metro, rail station and the beach. We were met promptly and the short tour of the immediate locality was useful. Welcoming. Friendly. Good English. No complaints. A+++++ Cesar (we call him Julio) has a lovely apartment in Barceloneta, a Spanish (mainly Catalonian) 'village' bounded by a port area (with many luxury yachts) Barcelona city and cute, sandy Barceloneta beach. There are countless bars and night clubs looking on to the port and the beach, but for a less 'tourist' experience, the bars and restaurants around the impressive market offer fresh, local specialties at reasonable prices. The apartment is a couple of minutes from the beach (really!) and from the market. On foot, the metro is maybe 5 minutes away and the rail station (Franca) is not much further. The Wikipedia page on Barceloneta says "Towards the beach, one might come across balconies with clothes hanging to dry ... " Yes! This is it. We want to end on a minor negative note. This apartment is perfectly situated for a fun-filled vacation: for beach time with friends, drinking and late nights at the clubs along the front. Please don't do that. In this tiny patch of authentic day-to-day life, your neighbors need to get some sleep and go to work in the morning.
