Susana's place is a really spacious and inviting space to say in Poble-Sec. It is only one floor up and very easy to access by stairs. All of the necessary dishes, pots/pans etc. are provided. The microwave and fridge are large and work excellent. The bonus is a great back deck that gets afternoon soon and makes a cool day feel much warmer. The apartment is a really cool place and the design is hip. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, as was the bedroom and living room area.
The neighbourhood was probably our favourite in Barcelona and you are less than a 5 minute walk to the new Saint Antonio market, a 10-15 walk to Playa Catalunya and the Magic fountains, and about 1km to La Rambla. There is an excellent bakery next door, and a great cafe another couple of doors up. We found the shopping great in the area as it is not as touristy as some of the more popular neighbourhoods.
Susana is an excellent hostess with great communication, and she made time to pop in for a visit. Her English is very good so that made things easier for us. We really enjoyed our chat and hope to come back next year!
