Julie's flat is in a non-touristy part of Barcelona which we liked because then it was staying in a real Catalan neighborhood and we did not have tourists all over the place. The flat is a five minute walk from the Poble Sec metro station. That station is only three stops from the main train station and is also handy for the airport buses 1 & 2. You can catch the airport buses at squares that are one stop or four stops away. The neighborhood had shops and pubs and restaurants and even more places on the main Paral-lel street.
The apartment was about six floors up but there was an elevator. The flat came with three bedrooms, plenty of space for clothing, a small but decent kitchen, and a good bathroom.
There was a TV and Julie provided an information packet on the neighborhood and the city of Barcelona. Everything was clean and came with all you might need.
Julie met us at the train station after we gave us the arrival time and it is always a good feeling to meet the owner or manager of the flat where you are staying.
