This is the PERFECT location for a visit to Barcelona! Diego’s place is charming, with personal artistic touches that Diego himself created. The apartment is located in Poble Sec, which is not in a very touristy area (which is better!). Local restaurants with non-touristy pricing located all around (Diego even has a special book for all his guests with restaurant suggestions, maps, distance in minutes from the apartment, and the restaurant speciality). Diego met us at the apartment and took the time to fully explain everything, including how to use public transportation and other sights to consider. He has made the apartment very comfortable with air conditioning (a major plus for summer travel) and includes an extra fan, hair dryer, iron, washer, shampoo/soap, even make-up wipes for the ladies. Despite being located on a well used plaza, the apartment is quiet and safe. Public transportation to anywhere in the city is super close and very easy to use. This is a gem and you will not be disappointed in any way! Diego is a SUPER super host!
