Great Flat!

Spacious, clean, well maintained, good beds, comfortable furniture, good television programming from the BBC as well as local Spanish channels. The kitchen is a dream, all appliances well maintained. Dishes, glassware, flatware and pots and pans are ample and of good quality.
Flat includes maps of Barcelona, excellent guide books on Spain in general and Barcelona in particular. Lots of brochures on what to do, where to go.
As described, the subway entrance is just steps away. The beach is a ten-minute walk. The entire area is safe. Good restaurants are all around, most especially on the Rambla del Poble Nou. Best time to eat is the noon meal (1:30 - 3:30). For best price, select from the "Menu del dia". Supermarkets and tiny food shops are everywhere, but the best is the large fresh food market about 3 blocks away, with irresistible cheeses, local sausages, meat, fish, poultry, fruits vegetables,etc. as well as freshly prepared food that can be heated later in the microwave.
A newly opened modern public library has magazines in English, Spanish and Catalan. Free internet access is available if one signs up for it.
We would return in a minute, and certainly plan on recommending it to friends.
