I have been to Barcelona a few times and wanted to try a new area that isn’t in one of the main tourist hotspots and has a more authentic local feel. This place was great for that. The area is full of restaurants and bars that don’t have the tourist packed distortion of areas like the gothic quarter. Its a great place to get a local and lively feel for Barcelona. However, it is still super close to loads of great sights if that’s what you like.
The flat and building is a bizzare mix of rustic history, artistic beauty and kitsch clashing decorations. This works really well to make a bizzare and yet beautiful environment and a unique experience. The flat also has all the modern luxuries you need for a comfortable stay with air con, black out blinds and noise cancelling windows.
The host was great at checkin and super helpful throughout.
