The apartment was very well situated for our visit in Barcelona.. The Poble Sec metro is a short walk away and many shops and restaurants are on Carrer de Blai which is right at the end of the block. The apartment had everything we needed for a four night stay and was very comfortable. We are an older couple visiting Barcelona for the first time and felt perfectly safe in the neighborhood. The apartment is three flights of stairs up, though, so be certain you are physically fit for it. We recommend this listing if you are visiting there.
