50 steps! That's all it takes to walk from the Metro station, Poble Sec, to the front door of Flor's apartment. And that made this apartment absolutely ideal as a base for exploring the heart (and soul) of Barcelona - location, location, location.

The apartment itself, accessed via a lift, is large, clean and sits comfortably above the street below. It's not the quietest location, but then if you wanted quiet and solitude, what are you doing booking a place to stay in the centre of Barcelona?

Flor and her husband were very welcoming and helpful, settling us in and responding immediately to our minor requests. Everything went smoothly. We had a wonderful time in Barcelona and after exploring that amazing city it was great to retire to the apartment, open a bottle of wine, kick off our shoes and relax.
