I had a fantastic long term stay at Andrey’s
The room itself is large, clean, with good storage and gets great light from early in the morning!
It has a good sized private ensuite balcony where you can dry your wash (the view is of the other buildings) and feels a bit separate from the rest of the unit kind of like your own mini studio - it was great for me because I still worked on US time and didn’t feel like I was bothering Andrey during late meetings and calls.
The front balcony has a amazing view if the street and buildings.
Andrey is so kind, warm, and welcoming as well. I had everything I needed for a month long stay (washer, wifi, dedicated workspace, and most of all: QUIET)
The Poble Sec/Montjuïc neighborhood is great, the cultural corridor, is also close to Sant Antoni and is much less touristic than other parts of the city.
If you want to live like a local, enjoy the city, and avoid tourist traps this is the spot! Oh, and the metro stop is less than 4 minutes away.
