The loft was a great place for exploring Barcelona. There are two Metro stations within a 10-15 minute walk, which we used to take us to and from the airport (only 5€ each)—and all over Barcelona (buying multi-day passes is an economic solution.)
The Poble Sec neighborhood is easily walkable to Montjuïc Park, Bari Gothic, Raval, and the waterfront. And, the neighborhood itself is great: a long pedestrian strip filled with cafes, restaurants, and tapas bars is only a few blocks away on Carrer Blai—and an amazing restaurant named El Sortidor, which features a fabulous menu del dia (Where I had the best snails I’ve ever had), is a block away on a small plaza. There are many grocery and produce options nearby as well, for those who prefer to eat in.
The flat itself was clean and well appointed. It is on the fourth floor with narrow stairs, so it is not a good choice for anyone that is not comfortable climbing, but in all other ways it is perfect. Even though the neighborhood is lively, the block where the flat is located is only a block long, so there is not much auto traffic to add to general urban noise.
The space itself was very comfortable for me and my husband. The open floor plan was well-designed, with open space and stylish but simple decoration. The bed and linens were extremely comfortable, and the desk, sofa, and table provided functional work and relaxing areas. We didn’t use much of the kitchen, but it appeared well stocked with dishes and cookware. the bathroom was small but with good water pressure and hot water.
Edwin was communicative. He answered our questions quickly, greeted us at check in to acquaint us with the flat and surrounding area, and even messaged us during our stay to ensure things were going well.
As this review shows, we found this to be an excellent apartment to rent for a stay in Barcelona. It had all the conveniences needed and provided us the chance to immerse ourselves in the local scene. We will definitely look into staying here again on our next trip to Barcelona.
