Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment in Poblenou, cited as one of Barcelona’s coolest neighbourhoods. While the kitchen is small, it’s well-equipped with all you need to rustle up a light bite – and with a whole host of eateries on your doorstep, you’re bound to dine out anyway. Locally, there’s much to see and do. We’d recommend a stroll down Poblenou’s Rambla which will take you to Mar Bella beach – just the place to find a delicious beachside restaurant or throw yourself into some water sports.

Home truths
While there are limited photos of the bathrooms and not all bedrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
Some of the terrace areas are slightly overlooked by neighbouring homes. If you prefer absolute privacy, you may wish to look elsewhere.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.

This arch was built as the main access point during the 1888 Barcelona World Fair and has remained a popular tourist attraction ever since.

This imposing basilica in the Ribera district was built at the height of Principality of Catalonia's maritime and mercantile preeminence – an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic architecture.
Choose your dinner at La Paradeta
The motto is: Sail away with us! This unique cross between a fish market and a restaurant, and it doesn't get much fresher than that. Come and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and great service.
Go for vermut and tapas at Bormuth
With a great atmosphere and a great selection of tapas, Bormuth is a great place to go for a drink and snack.
Enjoy Traditional Tapas at El Xampanyet
