We absolutely loved our stay at Yolanda’s apartment in Barcelona. The neighborhood is in the Poblé Sec and Sant Antoni area, tucked away from the busier tourist areas but has lots of excellent restaurants, markets and bars.
It’s easy and cheap to take the Aerobus directly to and from the airport to the apartment.
The apartment is on the third floor but there is a lift if you are carrying baggage.
Lots of room inside and a well-stocked kitchen.
Coffee maker, microwave and large refrigerator. There’s a market across the street to pick up fresh veggies and food.
There is only one bathroom, if you have a large group, but it is a tub shower, easy if you’ve got small children.
There’s a hair dryer with diffuser for curly haired travelers, wi-fi and television.
It’s an easy walk to several metro stations and a short walk to see the Magic Fountains at Montjuic Castle.
Our favorite non-touristy restaurants (we returned to again and again) in the local neighborhood are: The Egg Lab, Papagayo Cocktails & Food, The Garage-Wine Bar and Bar Ramon for delicious local flavors. If you’re looking for Barcelona’s famous pinchos, Carrer de Blai is a short walk for all the pinchos you can eat.
It’s a safe home and neighborhood. Secure entry and clean throughout.
Yoland is very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful.
We’ll definitely be back to stay at Yolanda’s the next time we visit Barcelona.
