The Barceloneta used to be a fishermen neighborhood in the 18th century, but now it has become one of the most popular areas in the old city because of its great restaurants and the Barceloneta beach, the biggest in the city.

Visiting a city like Barcelona without admiring its Cathedral doesn't seem right to me. Also, it is located and the heart of the Gothic Quarter, which is arguably the most popular area in Barcelona. The entire quarter is usually very busy, so try to go there early in the morning or around lunch time (between 1 pm and 3 pm). You should also see the Santa Anna's Church, the Roman Towers, Sant Jaume Square, Pi Square and Roial Square. Don't worry, although it looks like a lot, all these places are fairly close to one another. Leaving from the apartment, it would take you around 25-30 min with the subway.
