Highly recommended! At first we were unsure about staying in Poble-Sec as it was further from the Gothic Quarter and El Born area, but we actually ended up really loving the neighborhood. With the train nearby (~4 blocks) and excellent cafes, tapas, and pinxtos just down the street, we were glad we stayed here.
The apartment itself is very cozy and was such a nice space to come back to after a long day of walking around the city. The kitchen had ample appliances and utensils (and a clothes washer!), the couch was super cozy, the TV had Netflix, etc., the bed was very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was more than decent (love the rain shower shower head). Cute little balcony too.
The vibe and design was great too. Good books and art, maps and guides of things to do in Barcelona, and the host was very kind and easygoing.
The only thing to note is that the apartment is up a number of stairs, but that didn’t bother us at all. Just noting for anyone who may have mobility difficulties.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us! It really made the trip special.
