Lucy’s place was compact and comfortable with a handy little outdoor terrace where I could hang some washing. There is a supermarket on the next corner and a lovely Japanese restaurant to the right only a couple of blocks away. It is in a good location - walkable to the Ramblas in 20 min or to the Poble Sec metro station in 5 min on Parall-el Ave. Cai settled us in nicely on our arrival and I was very appreciative of the great communication with Lucy. The flat had just been freshly painted with a brand new stove top and oven. There is no microwave. A great place to stay for our short 4day stop in Barcelona.
