Cosy and practically furnished, this apartment is a great base for couples or solo travellers. While there’s not much space in the living area, especially when the sofa bed’s in use, it’s comfortable enough for lounging between activities in your itinerary. It's worth noting that there are thirteen stairs to climb to reach the en-suite bedroom and while towels are provided, you’ll need to bring your own toiletries. Poble Sec metro station is on your doorstep and if you fancy stretching your legs, the Gothic Quarter is a few blocks away.

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.
