With a central location, this apartment is strategically placed to maximise your Barcelona stay. The apartment is fairly simple but offers flexible sleeping arrangements, including a living room sofa bed for a sixth guest. The Juliet balcony is a highlight – just the spot to stand and enjoy a glass of sangria, while the dining room is perfect for family nights dining at home. Having said that, its stellar locale means that you’re never far from a restaurant serving up authentic Spanish dishes. Step out onto Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, and you’ll have shops, galleries and food markets at your fingertips.

Home truths
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Rocafort is the closest metro – it's a short walk away.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
Your host can provide a cot upon prior request.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
There's some light wear and tear visible in the bathrooms here.
Your host asks that you respect the neighbours and keep noise to a minimum between 10pm and 9am. Bookings from groups of young people (under 25 years) and parties aren't allowed here.

Local guide
About El Poble-Sec
El Poble-Sec is often dubbed the liveliest area in Barcelona, and rightfully so. Although it is still a bit rough around the edges, it has a booming theatre scene and an abundance of tapas restaurants and drinking dens, making a casual stroll through the area a true experience for all the senses. The vibrancy of El Poble-Sec has attracted a number of artists, creative professionals, and foodies to move here, creating a village-like atmosphere of a multicultural community that feels unlike any other in the city.
