Good apt in a great neighborhood for exploring Barcelona
We really enjoyed staying in the Poble-Sec area, and this apartment in particular is close to the metro, cafes, a whole alley of tapas bars, and walkable to various other museums/attractions. Having a washing machine was also a plus since we’re in the midst of a longer vacation through Spain. Iga & her companion Karo were friendly and responsive.
The biggest drawback for us was the lack of air conditioning, mostly because it was listed as an amenity at the time of booking. We’ve since suggested to Iga that she remove AC from the listing since it’s misleading/inaccurate. The apt has a small Dyson fan, which, combined with leaving the balcony doors open for the evening breeze, made the summer heat more or less tolerable in the evenings.
I’ll also reiterate what another review said: the street is fairly noisy, primarily due to the proximity of neighbors, many birds, and a garbage truck that passes nightly to empty the receptacles on the street below between 3-4am (having the windows open to alleviate the heat likely amplified the aforementioned).
