We had a fully booked two days visit in Barcelona and we stayed at Marcos apartment in Poble Sec. Location near metro station was very good, it was very easy to come and go. Neighbourhood was suitably lively but still peacefull at nights. There was a nice cafeteria, restaurants and shops near.
The apartment was a little worn here and there and it could have been a little cleaner for our taste but for this kind of visit (if you don’t spend much time there) it was fine. From the upper floor balcony there was great view to the courtyard and it was nice to watch the life of local people while drinking morning coffee :) We like living among ordinary people like us.
Air conditioning was working fine. Kitchen was ok for our needs (we didn’t cook there) and laundry machines we did not use at all.
Communication with the host was a bit slow but very friendly :)
