Julie met us at the apartment after our flight was delayed. She kept in touch & was very welcoming. She had lots of information about the area, places of interest, and Barcelona as a whole. As previous visitors to BCN we had already visited many tourist locations, but Julie told us about a local Street festival on Para.Llel, the Hospital near Sagrada Familia which was beautiful and well worth a visit, and also on her recommendation, we walked up and took the teleferic to Mont Juic,
The flat is immaculately clean and tidy, in a great location, just off a lovely square, but quiet and peaceful, we often sat listening and watching the many little birds in the trees below.
It is relatively small for 5 adults with a small kitchen & bathroom. But OK if you will be dining out, or sightseeing most days anyway. There is a decent sized living room with sofa, and dining table (also large tv, but we didn't use this). There are two small balconies to the front, which are sunny all morning, and bring plenty of light in.
The bathroom is small but modern and clean. Shower head is very low, but can be held by hand to wash hair. The lift is great, as the apartment is top floor, also means that the rooms near the stairs are quieter.
Downstairs, Pizza Del Sortidor is highly recommended, delicious Pizza and quite reasonable (they also do takeaway), also across the street, Rincon Del Cava is great for local tapas, and cheap cava and is full of pictures of all their visitors. They will even take your photo to put on the wall/Facebook.
Please be aware that this listing has changed recently, and if you booked an apartment with roof terrace, you should check with Julie regarding this. The loss of the outside space is disappointing, but the apartment is still lovely and well cared for.
We had a great time at Julie's apartment, it is clean, bright, and in a great location with a wide selection of bar/restaurants a short walk away. Julie was an attentive host, and was easy & quick to communicate via whatsapp during our stay and always helpful. You will enjoy a trip to Barcelona, Poble Sec staying here.
