Excellent apartment for Montjuic and Poble Sec
We had a fantastic week at the Terrace apartment, using it as a base while our kids participated in a water polo camp. The walk to the Montjuic swimming pool is just 17 minutes (all up hill - 305 steps) and from there you can catch the Funicular back down to the city or the cable car down to the beach.
The neighbourhood has several grocery stores and lovely restaurants such as Taps and Cerveceria Manises, and is right near the Magic Fountain and Plaza de Espanaya. Safe, clean and friendly.
The most fantastic thing about the apartment is the L-shaped terrace with spectacular views of the city, several places to sit to eat or enjoy the view/sun, and an outdoor shower. Inside the apartment is simple and basic, and previous reviews are correct, you need to purchase or bring your own garbage bags, tea towels, laundry soap as only a travel size bar soap, shampoo and body wash are provided. The sheets are clean (there is only one per bed), the towels are fluffy and white (I wouldn't dare use them on the patio), and the air conditioner in the living room is a bonus. Worth noting: there is an elevator in the building as you're on the top floor, but it only goes to the penultimate floor and you must carry suitcases up the last flight of stairs. it's not much, but a lot if you have any mobility problems.
All communication with our host was really clear and easy, and we highly recommend this beautiful apartment when staying in Barcelona.
