We had a wonderful experience in Barcelona thanks to Diego. He was generous with his time giving us local advice which made our stay special. His apartment is just as advertised and we loved being in leafy Poble Sec - it is easy to walk to art galleries and is on the green Metro line which is very convenient for all the city sights. But most of all it is off the main tourist drag and the initimate Plaça below the apartment has great little bars/cafes/restaurants which are inhabited by locals. Don't worry about no lift - the stairs are easy and Diego will help with your suitcase. We would definitely come back to this great little well equipped apartment in lovely Poble Sec.
