Marina is a lovely host. She is kind and courteous. Getting the keys and entry to the flat was flawless and straightforward. Poble Sec is a wonderful area. It has all the restaurants, cafes, and markets you expect to find when visiting Barcelona. The flat is charming with high arched ceilings in the Catalon style and a brick wall. The Internet connection is fast, and the apartment is up to date, modern and very clean. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
