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.

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!

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.

Easy stay at Poble Sec
Frederic met me at the apartment and nicely explained how to use the kitchen appliances, bathroom faucets and utilities. The WIFI and TV worked well. The apartment is very close to the Metro Poble Sec station and Montjuic attractions. Two items may need attention: 1) The electric kettle doesn't turn off automaticly when the water has boiled and may be a fire hazard if unattended. 2) The beautiful shower has a very slippery floor when wet and may be a falling hazard. Especially for the elderly.

Close to plaza de España-bus stop for the airport
Frédéric the owner waited for us as planned and explained well how appliances worked. He came back the next to fix the tv/Netflix which we really appreciated. The very old tile floor needs a good wash.

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.

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.

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

No lift, 37 steps up to apartment. Manager told us: “don’t drink the water, it will make you sick”. Not a good neighborhood for us. We found more restaurants operated by Bangladeshis than Spaniards.

Amazing location!!!
Pros:1.5 blocks to Metro Poble Sec, 3 to Plaça Espana, 5 min walk to best local tapas bars on Carrer de Blai. 5 min taxi ride from Port Vell Cruise ship Terminal. €6.75 bus shuttle to airport from Plaça Espanya-unbeatable deal. Taxis can run up to €40! Frederic let us in very early at 9am, just 1 hr after getting off the cruise ship. We waited happily at the neighborhood cafe, chatted with locals, drank delicious coffee and ate a breakfast tostada with Iberico jamon! Checkin was fast and easy! Decor is classic renaissance meets modern minimalist. Nice clean big glass shower! Water pressure strong! Great washing machine! Great fridge/freezer and kitchen. Free wi-fi! Strong cold AC!! Our friends got off the cruise ship late and waited 1hr in a long hot line for taxis. Their hosts were not fast replying and then denied early entry. They couldn't get into their VRBOs for more than 6 hours after arriving! Our Frederic was the best! 💕Even though our unit was 2 BR for just me and my son, we were able to emergency shelter 4 friends+7 kids+3 grandparents + luggage until their VRBO's opened at 3 pm! We had enough room to host/seat everyone! After they left, it felt like an empty palace! Cons: Loud construction on the building next door. 4 mini flights of narrow marble steps 30+: great for cardio, bad for our friends big luggage. (It was my 5th trip to Europe, 2nd to Spain so I knew to pack light!) Thank you Frederic! We had a great time!!!

Affordable residential apartment
Frederic the property owner was very friendly and easy to reach. Things to know and concern about the apartment: 1. Located in Poble Sec, a residential neighbourhood, very close to a metro station, and about a 20 minute walk to La Rambla 2. Kitchen is well appointed, we cooked breakfast everyday to startout our day, a grocery store is nearby. 3. There is 1 bathroom which can only be accessed through one of the bedrooms. We travelled as a family and made it work but this may not work for other travellers. 4. The bathroom had an old bar of soap to wash your hands which was kinda gross. Small suggestion would be to provide liquid soap instead. 4. The bedroom with the bathroom access had nowhere to hang/ fold our clothes. There was only small night table with drawers. We lived out of our suitcases 5. The 2nd bedroom was small and only suitable for 1 person to sleep. It did have a small closet space for clothes. 6. The air conditioning units worked very well.

Clean, close to the metro, and good communication with host!
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. Everything was clean, having laundry was convenient, and we always felt safe. Frederic was extremely responsive and went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed!

Delightful stay
We loved the neighborhood where this apartment is located. So close to Montjuic Park and all the wonderful museums and gardens there. Just a short block to the metro. A wonderful vegetable and fruit shop right across the street, grocery store around the corner, bakery too, little plaza with cafes can be seen from the apartment balcony. Be prepared for some stairs. The kitchen had everything we needed to make most of our own meals. It was great to have a washing machine for clothes since we stayed several weeks. A clothesline was located out the back window as there is no clothes dryer. We had no trouble using the clothesline. We loved the tiny balcony to sit and have our coffee and watch the neighborhood activity. The apartment was amazingly quiet at night even though the neighborhood is very active during the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great to be back in Barcleona
We were very lucky to stay a bit longer (5 days) in Barcelona this trip. The apartment was really lovely and quite a bit larger than I expected. The lounge, dinning room (with lots of seating) and open kitchen were perfect. With beautiful windows with Juliette balconies overlooking the street. The bedroom at the back of the apartment was very nice, very quiet, overlooking the backyards of the apartments. The owner, Frederic, met us and was very kind to help us up the stairs with all our luggage. I had hurt my knee just before traveling, and so the stairs was quite a challenge for me. It was so nice to be back in Barcelona, and nice to take the extra time to see some sites that we had never seen before. Thank you so much for your hospitality Frederic. We would definitely stay again, if we have the opportunity.
