This apartment is in a quiet, local neighborhood six to ten metro stops from Barcelona’s touristic areas. The metro stop is three blocks away - a nice quiet walk before/after touring the city for a day. A nice walk away is Poblenou which has a La Rambla with the charm of Barcelona’s without the hoards of tourists and hawkers, with many locals (and tourists) taking their afternoon strolls and evening drinks. David is a superhost, for sure. He met us at the apartment, gave us an introduction to the apartment, a detailed explanation of Barcelona and the area. We shared a drink at the local cafe and we felt we made a friend, someone we could text or call with any question or recommendation. He even had the pantry and fridge stocked with essentials: fruit, milk, toast, jam, jelly, water and wine! The apartment is spacious - beds for me and husband and three teens to spread out. The WiFi was great and the deck was perfect for an evening drink or time to catch up on work. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals for our family - induction stove, great pots and pans and utensils that made meal making easy and nice. The beach and promenade is also two blocks away, so if that is your thing, you will enjoy the convenience of sunning or walking/biking along the sea. Next door is a bike rental shop, across the street are several cafe/restaurants and within a block are plenty of places to pick up groceries or fresh baked goods. All in all our family had a wonderful stay in David’s Airbnb. We have stayed in many Airbnb’s before and this is the first time with a super host like David. Thank you for a safe and wonderful experience in Barcelona!
