We absolutely recommend this home for your Barcelona vacation! Patricia and Rossi are superb hosts! They went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed, even checking in via text throughout our stay. Rossi even helped carry our (very heavy!) luggage up/down the steps for us. Both Patricia and Rossi responded very quickly to our questions and fixed a very minor issue we were having with the shower head immediately. The apartment itself is gorgeous and well-stocked with bathroom, kitchen, and even beach supplies, so we did not have to buy/pack the basics and it was very convenient to have access to everything we needed. The location in Poble Sec is fabulous! It is well-situated near easy metro access and close to supermarkets, pharmacies, and great restaurants and nightlife! Patricia and Rossi had fantastic recommendations and walked us through how to navigate Barcelona upon our arrival, providing a very handy map and booklet of suggestions and tips. Our favorite tapas place on Blai Street (first street perpendicular to the apartment) was Blai Stop, which had our favorite patatas bravas. Other worthy mentions are Empanadas Las Muns for takeaway and Quimet & Quimet (we recommend going for a tapas lunch- much easier to get in than for dinner as they don't take reservations and it's very popular and very small- standing room only!). We had such a wonderful time and are already dreaming of our next trip to Barcelona- we will absolutely come back to Patricia's home!
