Amazing location! Located on a very quiet street just a short walk or metro ride from tasty food and local attractions. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We went to a market close by and purchased a few grocery items so we could make snacks and small meals. The apartment is equipped with cooking utensils, espresso machine, dishwasher, and washing machine. Mike was kind enough to leave some water and a very delicious bottle of wine for us. If we couldn't find something in the apartment (like an outlet adaptor) Mike would respond within minutes. We were also given a list of recommended places to see and restaurants to try. I would definitely stay here again!
A few notes on how to get around:
The flat is located in Poble Sec. When taking the metro this will be the name of the closest stop, which is about 2 blocks from the apartment. We purchased a 10-trip metro pass because it's more cost effective than buying individual tickets. The metro connects to several lines that can take you pretty much anywhere in the city. We also purchased Barcelona hop on hop off bus tickets which we found helpful to get to know the city and see most of the main attractions in a short period of time. Taking the metro is quick and easy but you don't get to see the city as you do on the tour bus.
Getting from the airport to the flat is pretty straightforward. We took the Aerobus to Plaza d'Espanya. The metro is a few steps from where the bus drops off. Then take the Green line (L3) to Poble Sec (or a 15-minute walk, - not recommended if you have heavy luggage).
