heleen and rodrigo were very easy to communicate with prior to our stay. they gave us very good directions going to the apartment and rodrigo was waiting for us there when we arrived. he was thorough in explaining and showing us how the apartment worked, and gave us some fabulous recommendations on getting around barcelona, restos (elche is the place for paella!!!), and even a Church for Sunday mass when I asked.
the neighborhood of poble sec is a great location. the metro station is a few mins away, and some of the best times we had were just near the apartment, eating tapas and drinking sangrias at the blai area. people are friendly, the area is safe and was a great base to go around. the bed is a bit squeaky and uncomfortable but other than that the apartment was clean and complete with everything that you might need. we really enjoyed our here. thank you heleen and rodrigo!
