We had a wonderful short break in Roberto's apartment.
The flat was easy to find, and jus a five minute walk from the metro. There is a lift up to the 5th floor, a relief when you have been on your feet all day!
Roberto was there to meet us and show us all we needed to know on arrival.
The flat is well equipped, wonderfully bright, and we enjoyed the sunny terrace. The bed was large and comfortable and the flat really quiet - a pleasant place to chill after a day of walking and sightseeing the amazing city of Barcelona.
Poble Sec is a really good area to stay in. It is close enought to walk to most of the central attractions and also close to two metro stations. There are lots of lovely tapas bars and resteraunts within a couple of minutes walk, as well as small supermarkets and bread shops, so you are never far away from good food and drink. Even though the flat was quiet, there was a good buzz in the local streets, and it always felt safe, lots of local people and not many tourists, so we felt we were part of the city, not just visitors.
Roberto has put together a book of local recommendations which his guests have added to. I hope that we will return to Barcelona one day, as there was so much to see and we really only scratched the surface in our 4 day stay, and I would recommend Roberto's flat unreservedly to any one!
