Staying in El Poble Sec, visiting Barcelona
This apartment (APT) is about 3/4 mile from Barcelona center. The distance from the APT to the Metro was about 3 min walk, incredibly convenient. The area was quiet at night, easy to sleep. The APT was up 2 short flights of stairs. Joan was helpful and let us in 3 hours before check-in, so that we could begin to tour. There were 4 in our group: me, my wife, my adult daughter, and her friend. The APT is small, clean, well equipped. The kitchen-livingroom-diningroom was big enough and easy for relaxing and cooking. We cooked in one evening and had all the dishes and cooking equipment we needed. The main bedroom/bathroom was big enough, but the second bedroom/bathroom was small. So, my daughter slept on the couch in the livingroom. This APT would be best for 3 people. The stove, refrigerator, showers, hot water, washer/dryer worked very well. My only complaint was the sequence of finances. Two months before the visit, we were notified that the advertised rate from 2021 was mistakenly listed, so it was requested that we pay an additional 18%. We were offered the option of canceling and receiving reimbursement, but we did not want to deal with the hassle of finding a new APT so late. In addition, we had to pay city tax (about 10% of the room cost) upon check-in. I highly recommend this APT, but be careful ahead of time about the finances.
