Irene is a great host! Very easy to communicate with and very welcoming! She has many recommendations for things to do near the apartment. Including a folder of maps and business cards of good places to see/eat/shop.

Regarding the apartment - wonderful. Great bathroom, comfortable bed, and a dishwasher! (first one I've seen in rental apartment in el poble sec!!!). The terrace was very nice - a perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring!

And location- outstanding!. The neighborhood is very cool! It's about a 15 minute walk to Placa Espanya or a 15 minute walk to las ramblas. It's also very close to the old city and el raval...so you can enjoy some of the more touristy districts, but come home to a 'local' neighborhood.

Irene is a great host with a great apartment! I look forward to returning!
