My husband and I spent the first leg of our honeymoon in Anna's place. This little flat is hands down one of the best places to experience the real Barcelona. Located in El Poble Sec just a few blocks from a main street, Parallel, it's convenient to all of the sites of Barcelona while still feeling quiet, residential, and authentic. Anna was a great host - she leaves a full binder of information and suggestions and is both helpful, accessible, and flexible. From the complimentary breakfast bar to the adorable and comfortable furnishings, we spent quite a bit of time taking it slow like the Spaniards do in this quirky flat. Two things to note: first, there are a ton of stairs but not at all a problem if you're in decent shape; second, the water heater is a bit finicky - just don't flush the toilet before a shower and you'll be fine! We will definitely be back!
