Our host Iga was very responsive to any concerns. However, there is no local contact person in case of emergencies. We had one emergency that we solved on our own. Most guests praise the apartment, but we found it to be rather spare and rough. However, Poble Sec is a great neighborhood with residents from everywhere. Excellent tapas scene on Carrer de Blai. Great staff and public at Blai Tonight, Carrer Blai 23 (the beige interior, not the blue interior). Good theater at El Molino and Teatre Victorìa on Av. Paral-lel. Easy walking to many sights and easy access to Metro. Buy the 10-ticket option. Single tickets do not allow you to transfer to other Metro lines or buses.
