Our stay in Barcelona at Guillermo's loft was absolutely perfect. We stayed for three days and really enjoyed being just outside of the touristy area... Poblenou is such a such cute neighborhood and the beach is superb as compared to the beaches closer to la Rambla. Guillermo's brother came to greet us and had the best non-touristy recommendations which made our trip! The loft itself is very modern and tastefully decorated. The neighborhood is very safe and convenient to the subway and beach. This was truly a memorable experience and I would recommend this to any friends. If you're looking for something more central to the tourist hubs (which I think is less than ideal since it is chaotic) this is not the ideal place. Thank you to our wonderful host
