Beautiful historic apartment with updates

This apartment is a lovely blend of old and new— beautiful old tile floors, antiques, then a modern bath and well stocked kitchen. We loved the neighborhood as it is near but not directly in the tourist areas. It is about one block from the PobleSec metro and bus line directly downtown, there are groceries, restaurants and bars just steps from the apartment. One caveat, there are a lot of narrow stairs to reach the third floor so it is not a good option for anyone who has mobility issues. Frederic met us right at arrival and helped with bags, he was excellent with communication and overall a very gracious and helpful host!

Great location, gracious old apartment

We really appreciated Fanny who was so understanding about out delayed flight and late check in. She gave us some good eating recommendations for the locale. The apartment was really generous in size and a relaxed, if slightly dated place. Great location and quiet area.

Excellent location!

The property is well maintained and was clean when we got there. The best thing about it is its location. It is a short walk to the metro station (5 mins) and there is lots of eating establishments right nearby. Across the street are several small grocery stores and a slightly larger one in the nearby square. The apartment had plenty of room for our group of four and it’s nice that the bathroom was separate from the shower as it allowed us to multitask. The only thing to be aware of is that it is two flights up and there are no elevators. We love the view and would recommend this property to others. Additionally shout out to Frederick as he was able to help us with the request on short notice.

Amazing place/location!

This place is truly a gem in the perfect location if you want to be in the city but not hear the city night life. Our host, Frédéric was so nice and very kind to provide many recommendations for places to eat, which were delicious! We 100% would stay here again and recommend this to our friends and family!

Nice place for a (short) stay in Barcelona

Great apartment in a convenient location. Apartment is equipped with all you need. There was quite some noise in the building complex and on the street, but that was for us not an issue. The owner is very kind and helpful. If you want to have the feeling that you are living in Barcelona we can definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful apartment

Overall the stay was great. We enjoyed how close the apartment was to attractions and local restaurants. Only complaint was we ran out of toilet paper on the last night and the shower light wasn’t functioning. Regardless of the small mishap, we loved the stay and would do it again

Perfect space for 2-3 in Barcelona

Absolute perfect location for two friends or a small family. We loved the neighborhood and quick walking or transit access to all Barcelona has to offer. We had a small miscommunication on our checkout, but the way the host handled it makes me recommend the space even more. I would absolutely stay again on a return to Barcelona.

3 days in Barcelona for sightseeing

Good property for max 4 persons. Shower/toilet only accessible through main bedroom. Great to have lounge area and good amenities - cooker, microwave, washing machine. Pleasant area of city, close to main train station and Metro. Frederic met us at the property and showed us around, which was helpful.

We had a great stay. The apartment had everything we required, was conveniently located close to the metro, close to restaurants, and has two mini grocery stores across the street.

Apartment in Poble Sec

The Apartment was as described and provided a great base for our stay in a quiet neighbourhood, but 5 minutes away from a main road and subway. Our only issue was scaffolding covering the balconies, we chose this apartment for the balcony and were not advised in advance of the scaffolding, we felt a bit cheated in this as there was plenty of opportunity before arrival to let us know.
