Antoni was an amazing host! He was there to greet us when we arrived. He showed us around his apt, where everything was located, linens, wifi, etc. He also had Barcelona maps and a travel guide available for us. He showed us how to get to the metro and gave us helpful tips for navigating the city. He asked us to contact him if we had any issues or concerns. We were all on whats app so that made communication seamless.
The apartment was exactly like the pictures. It was quaint, neat and charming. It was perfect for 3 people. The terrace was also very beautiful. Due to the cold weather, we were only able to enjoy it one morning.
The apartment was located 2 blocks from the Paral-el metro stop. You could either walk to Las Rambla or take the metro 2 stops to Liceu. The neighborhood where we stayed was Poble Sec. It was an awesome neighborhood. There were several grocery stores on the block, a pharmacy and cafes. We were in the ideal neighborhood that had many great bars and tapa joints. Despite there being numerous bars, the streets were quiet. The locals were extremely friendly.
I can't wait to return to Antoni's place!
