Montse was a great host - she met us at the flat after a late flight, allowed us to leave luggage there before a late flight back and gave us some helpful advice about getting to and from the airport. The flat was cosy and comfortable for our family of two adults and two teenagers. It's beautifully sunny and light inside and great to sit on the balconies with a cup of coffee in the morning. We really loved the location - 5 minutes away from the beautiful gardens of Montjuic - overlooking a little square which has some good places to drink and eat - and very close to shops to buy fruit and vegetables and other things. The vibe of Poble Sec is great - it's a diverse area, full of life but a relief to get away from the busy tourist areas. It's walking distance to the centre and to the beach but really close to the metro and buses if walking isn't your thing!
