Wonderful place to stay! Poble Sec was the perfect neighborhood — cute cafes and restaurants nearby and just 2 stops away via train from classic tourist destinations in Barcelona. Monserrat goes above and beyond to be accommodating and truly makes you feel welcome in her home. Plus her puppy is the cutest! We loved staying there and would recommend it to anyone. The only minor downside would be the stairs - the stairs are no joke. But, if you are able bodied, it’s worth the short hike.
