This apartment was wonderful for a 3-week stay in Barcelona, and Mike was an excellent and responsive host. El Poble-Sec is a great location - mostly away from the hustle and bustle of central Barcelona, but within an hour’s walk from most major landmarks and popular areas. Not to mention the benefit of all of the wonderful Pinxos restaurants right around the corner on Blai.
The apartment’s amenities also made for a comfortable long stay. There is a washing machine and each room has its own balcony with ample space for drying clothes. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were fantastic. The lock on the door also felt very secure which was an additional comfort each day. Getting up to the apartment was very manageable in spite of the stairs with the exception of carrying luggage up them!
My favorite part by far was enjoying the natural light that poured in through the balcony doors each evening. This place truly was beautiful with thoughtful details everywhere. The Spanish tiles in the bathrooms and entryway were gorgeous.
I’d stay at Mike’s place again without hesitation should I ever return to Barcelona- which I definitely hope to one day. A wonderful, vibrant city and this apartment was a more than suitable place to make the most of it.
