Irene's place is just the best! It's hip, comfortable, and filled with everything a traveller would need. She has lots of travel information about the city there in the apartment. There are ceiling fans, so we slept really well. It's an airy, fresh, welcoming and extremely clean place to stay. The neighborhood is super cool, with lots of bars and restaurants within a short walk. It's also just a 5 minute walk to the Metro. We hope to return to Poble Sec and Irene's place as soon as we can!
