RSSBarceloneta is the area where we stayed for all of our honeymoon. The area is where the beach is and the beach was so awesome. Granted I wanted to hang out and lay around more then I wanted to get into the ocean. Really I put my feet in the water and that was it. I need to say that the weather was mild and the last couple days of our honeymoon which was the middle of June were the days that were the warmest. The other days were just like the bay area, sunny and mild.
If your ever contemplating staying in Barceloneta I would recommend it, because the neighborhood is so awesome. If your ok with smelling fish both fresh and decomposing, and dodging cat and dog poo then your going to be OK! Seriously that is the worst of the neighborhood. We stayed in Banys del Mar Apartmentos Barceloneta. It is a super affordable way to vacation and really get a feel for how people live. Really see since the streets are so narrow I could see the people in the building next to mine getting out of the shower, eating, and hanging out. It is not the most posh of places to stay and if your looking for all the amenities like daily housekeeping and an ice machine down the hall your not going to get it. Every time we wanted a change of sheets we went down and exchanged our old for new and the got our refills of toilet paper too. We went out the first day we got there to get hand soap and clothes washing soap. Sine we had our own little kitchen and clothes washer. We also had air conditioner which was pretty awesome.
After heading over to the store and getting organize in our room we went out to the boqueria, the Mercat St. Joseph on Las Ramblas.
