Sergio's flat is very modern and stylish, simply furnished, with lots of space, in a lovely historic building. Everything you could want has been provided, and the whole place was shining and clean. The location is perfect, less than five minutes to the nearest underground station and ten minutes walk to the sea. You can get here from the airport in an hour. We wanted to explore the Poblenou district in detail rather than go into the tourist centre, and this flat is perfect for that. There are great places to eat close by, a couple of good supermarkets and small late night food shops, and several interesting galleries and bars. The architecture of the Poblenou area is fascinating, great modern architecture all over the district combined with low rise repurposed light industrial buildings, giving it a more intimate feel than the centre of the city. Sergio is a fantastic host, very warm and friendly, welcoming, and has thought of everything you might need. He took the trouble to help us by sending a map for some other travel out of town that we were considering. Meeting him at the flat when we arrived really got our trip off to a good start! Wonderful host, wonderful flat, highly recommended!
