    Excellent place for a week exploring Barcelona. Cute apartment with everything we needed, close to everything. Host met us and answered all questions we had. Wonderful experience.

    Vali & Simone's place was just as described! I would highly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy Barcelona's sights and have a beautiful place to come home to at the end of the day to book with them!

    The studio is lovely, modern and new. The bed is great and everything we needed was there. Location is fantastic too, just steps from carrer de Blai with all its nice places to eat and 15 minutes walk from the Ramblas. Simona was very nice at the check in. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    Merci à Simona, pour son accueil, son efficacité, sa gentillesse, son hospitalité. Un séjour sans faute. Les logements que vous propose Simona sont impeccables. Nous avons séjourné quelques jours dans le studio de la rue de les Hortes, un vrai studio conçu par un architecte, optimisation total de l'espace, fait avec gout, un charme épatant. Qualité de literie exceptionnelle. Puis nous avons décidé de rester un peu plus alors nous avons changé d'appartement, un duplex hyper stylé toujours carre de les Hortes. J'insiste sur la manufacture et le design, c'est TOP ! On reviendra ! De retour en France un peu nostalgique déjà. On tenait vraiment à souhaiter à Simona et sa famille: LONGUE VIE ! Merci encore, YOU ARE THE BEST. N'hésitez pas, réserver sans crainte, c'était PARFAIT !

    Vali and Simona are pros in setting up the apartment for Airbnb. I really like the way they have divided the space. It's a small but very functional apartment with everything you need. Such a cute space with the decor, it's also easy to keep clean and tidy. Being in such a central location in Bcn, some noise is expected from the street in the weekend but nothing a pair of earplugs can't fix if you want to sleep. I had a great stay and love the apartment / area. Thanks! You guys have really great taste.

    What a lovely little place! Perfectly placed to explore Barcelona, We had a great time staying and would return in the future can't say better than that!

    I would recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for a quiet, but central location in Barcelona. The flat is absolutely charming and well laid out with high end finishes throughout. Loved it!

    Nice studio for a couple to spend a week or two exploring Barcelona. Close to a Metro station and public transport. It may be a bit noisy at weekend nights from nearest pubs, but great place to stay anyway.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Nina

    The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of the very centre of Barcelona. Immediately behind the apartment is also Carrer de Blai which has lots of great places to eat, drink or buy groceries. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and generally just what you need for a city break. The only problem we had was that the apartment is on the ground floor with a door directly onto the street. During the week-nights this was not a problem, but on the Friday and Saturday nights when we were there, we were kept awake by party goers until 4am due to the noise. None the less, the apartment was great and we still had an awesome time staying here (Barcelona at night does just seem to be quite loud!).

    Our stay at in Simonas & Valis apartment was really nice. We enjoyed the cosy and well equipped apartment. The apartment was super clean and you got a good connection to the public transport of Barcelona. To the nearest Metro station (Parallel) you only walk 4 minutes. Same for the next bus stop. Unfortunately it was quite noisy. Espacially at night. You almost got the impression that the windows are open. The communication to Simona was superb. Her responses where almost instant. She let us stay longer at our check out without any additional fees for a late check out. Thanks again :). Thank you having us.

    Super cool loft apartment, we felt like we were staying in a tiny house! Great food need by, walking distance to the gothic quarter, beach and parks. One thing to mention is that there is a night club at the end of the street, we didn't mind the noise but some people could find it disturbing as the disco stays open into the morning. Other than that it was the perfect place for our stay in Barcelona! :)

    Vali y Simona han sido muy serviciales con nosotros. Es un apartamento muy interesante en el que se aprovechó muy bien el espacio como para estar confortables y sin que falte nada. Tiene una ubicación conveniente ya que está cerca del metro y a pocas cuadras de varios sitios de interés.

    The flat is exactly as you see in the pictures. The living room is great and the bedroom is large enough for lots of comfort. The flat is in vibrant neighborhood and about 15 minutes walking from Las Ramblas. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Barcelona.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Colleen

    This neighborhood is the ideal melding of proximity to the more common tourist enclaves of Gotic, El Raval and Ramblas, but ever so much more quiet and "local residential". The multi block pedestrian "street" ("Blie"?) is only one block up, and avails a wide array of casual dining, veg/fruit stands and necessities. Proximity to Montjuïc area where the Arts Museum, Botanical Gardens and site of 92 Summer Olympics, all provide a green getaway from the hubbub that is Barcelona below. Am if the opinion that PobleSec is the ideal neighborhood to base oneself, and the apt hs everything you'll need, kept immaculately clean and compact tidy. Thumbs up !

    My family and I had a wonderful time at Simona's place. She was very friendly and even provided a crib for our little one. The place is very unique and although it's not that big it makes use of all the space available. The place has everything you need, including a washer/dryer. The design is pretty neat, my wife is still talking about it. It's located close to bus and metro stations and you have cafe's and markets close by. We had a great time and would stay there again. A quick note, use the address and not the location on the map provided on airbnb, it's one street off.

    Vali & Simona have the best flat to stay at in Barcelona! It's got a great location, is close to some fantastic restaurants, and the flat itself has all of the amenities you need on your travel through the city! This place is a must-book!

    This studio was perfect for our weekend in Barcelona. It had every accommodation we could ask for and was in a great location for eating, going out and shopping! We would definitely stay here again as we felt at home as soon as we walked in.

  • Helen

    The location was great, you could walk everywhere from there or take the metro. You could eat breakfast close by or go to the disco or burlesque show in the area. The appartment was very clean, the bed was comfy and there was a washing maschine with a dryer to use. The host was friendly and gave good tips where to eat or shop. Main minus was that the living room area was in the basement so it was a bit humid. It got noisy at the street at night, so you could not leave the windows opened at night. But when the windows were shut it was very quiet. The bathroom was tiny so my husband had some problems fitting his legs inside. :) It is perfect for couples or a few close friends!

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Katrina

    The apartment layout was very inconvenient. The bed was located at the top of the room and underneath was the couch/ living room area. In order to use the bathroom (if you're sleeping) you have to climb down the stairs and walk to the other side even though in retrospect they are right next to each other. Some of the appliances were new which was nice but we didn't need to do any washing. The apartment is situated on the ground so there was a lot of street noise all night long. It was located close to the city center (10-15 minute walk). I would recommend this for a younger couple or crowd.

    Appartement cosy, super bien équipée. Il est à 2 minutes à pied d'une station de métro qui est très bien desservit. Quartier calme mais proche du centre. Parfait pour un séjour en amoureux !!

    This flat is in the perfect location, central and close to everything (walkable) and is cozy and spacious! Everything we needed was given and a smooth check in and check out and great communication made our stay comfortable and easy! Would most definitely recommend this flat and would 100% stay in it again!

    Super hippes, modernes und komfortables Apartment in der Nähe von vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten wie La Rambla, Hafen, ... Die Unterkunft liegt zentral unweit von Shops, Restaurants, Bars, der Metrostation usw. Es hat alles reibungslos mit den Gastgebern funktioniert. Das Apartment ist sehr schön möbliert und toll ausgestattet. Perfekt für einen Aufenthalt zu zweit oder zu dritt. Kann es jedem empfehlen.

    The apartment was fantastic! So clean and lovely and cool with the brilliant air conditioning. We were greeted at the time we agreed and had no problems with the flat at all. Felt very safe and secure and had everything we needed to cook and prepare lunches and meals for the week. The bed was super comfy & wifi etc. all worked perfectly without any problems. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Was about a 20 minute walk to the beach but in a lively area with lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep

  • Steve

    Although small, Simona's place was very well maintained and she was responsive to our various issues - she even dried and folded our wash at the end of our stay. For us though, not knowing the city and language, a hotel may have better suited our needs.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Seah

    Super cute place. You can walk to a several tapas restaurants or local bars. Check-in was smooth and very close to metro(about 5mins from the station) Highly recommend

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Claire

    Excellent stay, quirky apartment in a cool area with lots of restaurants and bars to choose from. A stones throw from the metro station it made everything so easy to get around. Simona arranged early check in for us to drop our bags and was thoughtful and communicative throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Fei

    Everything is fine. And the apartment is on the first floor(in Germany the zero floor), you will feel not safe and quite down to open the window in the night. The location is OK,it takes only 5 Minutes to the nearest station. And Simona is very friendly to us.

    Jun 27, 2019

    Simona's place is located in a perfect area close to great food and within walking distance to all the major sight seeing attractions! We felt at home and very secure here. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family visiting Barcelona!

    Its a wonderful place in Barcelona and very close to everything. We walked to everything because it was so close. The furniture of the apartment is great and lovely and the bed was good. I would recomment and definitely come back!

    Overall, really good experience. Check in is late in the day though, and early check in is an additional cost. Otherwise, nothing bad to say about it

    The flat has an ideal location, we were always a few metro stations from the places we visited. The neighbourhood is safe and lively but the street itself is pretty quiet. The space is cleverly used in the flat, and the place is clean! Simona is a friendly and professionnal person. I would highly recommend it

  • Roberto

    Estuve 5 días en el puente de diciembre. La localización del estudio es buena, en 10-15 minutos estás en las ramblas. Pero que este al ras del suelo no nos gustó demasiado y que haya varias alturas en el estudio terminó siendo un engorro, por no hablar del pequeño inquilino que nos estaba esperando la primera noche, una cucaracha!. El barrio nos pareció poco seguro para lo que estamos acostumbrados por lo que buscaremos otra ubicación la próxima vez

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Thanh Hang

    The flat was super design and well located, perfect for a couple. Thanks Simona, we spent a very good time in Barcelona!

  • T.

    Thanks Simona! Overall we had a pleasant stay. There was not much problem for us during our stay other than during the day we arrive. We had to really find our way there. Maybe the directions provided to the air bnb can be a little clearer (with photos) especially for travelers of different language and/or without data. The location is good, still consider walkable to many main attractions and areas. Unit is located on the ground floor but is generally quiet unless the night before a public holiday, it can get a little noisy until 4-5am in the morning. The toilet is clean but small. Not enough space to do what a lady needs to do (no space to hang clothes after hanging the towels, no space to put necessary toiletries etc unless on the floor). So have to do take it to the bedroom above. There's an overall of 4 separate spaces in 3 different levels in this air bnb. It is an interesting unit with these different spaces and unique homely design but It may sometimes get a little inconvenient especially during cold weather. To get to the toilet from the bedroom we have to climb down and up a few winter cold metal stairs (so close yet so far). There is no pocket wifi provided and the LAN wifi may be unstable at times so travelers may consider getting your own data.

    This is a really cool studio that is perfect for couples. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were very prompt to help us with any of our needs, the place was clean and well prepared for guests, and the location is amazing for the price. Apart from being a really unique studio, the apartment is located next to Blai alley, which has a bunch of delicious and affordable pintxo restaurants. Blai is also a pretty hip area with a lot of bars, but the apartment itself is located a few blocks away on a quiet street. We had no problems with noise throughout the weekend. Would stay again without a doubt!

    Die Wohnung ist perfekt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Sie hat alles nötige was man braucht, ist sauber und ordentlich! Sie liegt zentral, zur Innenstadt sind es maximal 15min zu Fuß! Wir sind nicht einmal mit der U-Bahn gefahren, sondern haben die gesamte Stadt zu Fuß entdeckt! Simona ist die perfekte Gastgeberin, sie hat uns empfangen, alles erklärt und war bei Rückfragen immer erreichbar. Wir können die Wohnung und Simona jedem nur weiterempfehlen, der eine sehr gute Wohnung in einer perfekten Lage sucht.

  • Marcy

    This is cute little apartment in a great location for tourists and people visiting Barcelona. It was a 20 minute walk into the Gothic Quarter and El Born, with tons of amazing bars and restaurants close by. Just enough space for two people, and had everything we needed for a week's stay. There was a little street noise on the weekends but otherwise a pretty quiet apartment. One tip, though. If you're sensitive to light, bring an eye mask as the router glows in the apartment by the bed. But, truly, a great place to stay and would definitely come back!

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Udi

    Simone was a really kind and attentive host. The apartment was perfectly suited for the needs of a young couple, and the attention to details is superb. There was even a coffee maker with a bunch of capsules ready to use. I'd really have to scratch my head to find anything wrong with this place, because we had such a great time there. The location is superb as well. Literally a stone throw away from the city center, yet still feels "not touristy". Basically felt like a couple of locals living in Barcelona (for a week). I would however caution not to leave the door unlocked even when you're on the inside, and don't leave things to dry outside. Other than that, the neighborhood felt really safe and welcoming. Around the apartment you can find loads of coffee shops, restaurants, bars and a nightclub. A lot of previous guests mentioned the noise outside, but if spend the whole day exploring Barcelona and even go out at night, nothing could disturb your sleep. In short, I'd highly recommend this place to any young couple traveling to Barcelona.

    “Simona’s apartment was perfect for what we needed. The space was comfortable and in a great location! The metro is super close which made travel easy. Although we did not meet she made arrangements to suit our schedule. Would book this place again.”

  • Lauren

    Simona’s place is a small space that has everything in it! However it isn’t cluttered and has a lovely homely feel to it. I would say the maximum amount of guests should be two as a third wouldn’t have much privacy. The beach is a small walk away but the metro is at the end of the road meaning you can get anywhere in the city quickly. We had a lovely stay and we felt very welcome to contact Simona if we had any issues.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Josephine

    Simona was a great host, and the flat was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and replied very fast about any questions we had. The flat is very cozy, and close to downtown. There's nothing to complain about regarding the flat and the great host. The only thing we found frustrating, was the additional "late check in fee" at 40€. We were informed about the tourist fee, and Simona wrote we should pay this fee and a late check in fee, but we wasn't informed about the amount. This was an unpleasant surprise, because we wasn't expecting to pay 40€ extra, just because we checked in late in the evening. This was also regarding "early check in fee" and "late check out fee". It would have been nice to know before we booked the place. Thank you for a great stay, we can highly recommend this flat!

    Jun 27, 2019

    Simona’s apartment is a beautiful stay for a couple in the heart of Barcelona’s El Poble Sec neighbourhood. The apartment had everything we needed and more, with many trendy and tasty restaurants and bars nearby. I would be happy to stay again!

    Simona‘s apartment is a small but comfy, clean and well equipped home for a short stay in Barcelona. It is very clean and modern. The AC is good. The small street is not too loud during the night so that I slept well in the comfy bed. The location is good to explore the city even by foot. There are several nice restaurants, cafés and bars nearby. Some supermarkets aswell. I would definitily recommend Simonas apartment!

    We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. It is a city with a lot of history, and we were grateful to be able to experience it. Simona's place served us well for our 2 night stay in Barcelona. Although it did require a 10 minute cab ride each time to get to the main areas of the city (Gothic Quarter, etc.), the apartment is in a safe well-lit area frequented by many people. It wasn't noisy from the street in our opinion, and the apartment felt very secure. The bed was by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on in an AirBnb (probably more comfortable than my own bed at home). The wi-fi, water pressure, and cleanliness were all great as well. Simona was very easy to communicate with and accommodated our late check-in due to our flight being delayed. The bathroom is a bit smaller than we expected, but it was fine for the couple of days we were there. The main thing that threw us off upon check-in was the city tax Simona's assistant collected from us in Euro. We were surprised by this, but in defense of the host, the tax is listed in the additional info section of the House Rules. We just felt that it should be more front and center of the listing. We paid it of course. We also weren't told where the bed linens were but discovered them under the bed along with other supplies the next day. Overall, we had a good stay.

    Appartement petit mais très fonctionnel très joliment décoré et très propre. Une rue à proximité offre de nombreux restaurants de tapas très agréables ! Vous pouvez vous rendre à pied dans le centre ville ou à la plage ou optez pour le métro situé juste à proximité. Simona a bien organisé notre arrivée. Je recommande !

    Lovely apartment that is well decorated. Could be a bit loud at night as it is right off the street. Simona was good at communicating with us.

  • Liam

    Simonas place was identical to the photos provided and very clean and modern. Great stay and good location as it was easy to get to La Rambla and the centre of Barcelona. The only downsides being the lack of storage space and awkward positioning of the bathroom sink when using the toilet. Would highly recommend for a week stay in Barcelona.

    Simona’s home is in the perfect location. It is a short walk to the subway and close to other walkable restaurants and shops. The bed was so comfortable and we had everything we needed. While I see others were concerned about the noise, we didn’t experience that problem at all. There is a club right outside this home , but once you close the doors it is very soundproof! For my husband and I, the layout of the home wasn’t a problem as it is very unique. However, I wouldn’t recommend for more than two people to stay here comfortably. Simona was responsive to our questions and even recommended a delicious sushi restaurant. We were more than happy with our stay and recommend it!

    This cute airbnb was perfect for us and for anyone staying in Barcelona for the first time! The location is both very private and close to fun areas. Perfect for walking. Also, the apartment is sparkling clean with updated appliances in kitchen and bathroom. It looks and smells frash and well maintained. It really made our stay perfect! -A and M from Boston, USA

    A lovely studio apartment in a great location. It's easy to walk to the City Centre and over to Montjuic if you don't mind a stroll and the metro is also very close for heading longer distances. Simona is a great host, very easy to communicate with and we had all the information we needed before and during our stay. We had everything we needed in the apartment and although we didn't really use the kitchen, we could see it was fully stocked with cutlery and utensils. The bathroom was small but functional, living area nicely furnished and bed very comfy after a busy day! We would recommend this apartment for 2 adults looking for a Barcelona stay, it would be just too small for 3. Lovely local area; bars and tapas in the next street as well as 'La Social' a few doors down - a great bookstore and place for coffee.

    Simona was an amazing host! She was always available and I always got a nearly instant response from her any time I reached out. The home was well decorated and very comfortable. Amenities was what really made this special for my visit. Iron, ironing board, washer, drier, and full length mirror were just a few touches she had in hand. This was super helpful as i was able to wash and dry my clothes quickly before my next travel destination. Her staff was equally amazing! Extremely kind people that also gave great recommendations to the city. They were even kind enough to let me check in early with short notice. The neighborhood is externally safe. I was traveling alone from the states and never felt my safety was in jeopardy. The apartment is right on the street but the noise was minimal (only as a car passed by every so often) and did not prevent me from sleeping extremely well.

    Such a beautiful house! It is very small but it’s all you need. We walked every where so we saw so much! Lush bars and restaurants near by. Simona was a perfect host! Would defiantly stay there again.

    Simona's place is a real gem. It is a small space which has really been maximised. It is neat and tidy and has everything needed to make you feel comfortable (Email hidden by Airbnb) munication and flexibility was awesome. Simona was really helpful and accommodating to requests. The apartment is located in a quieter area near some great pincho bars and well located for the metro. It can get quite loud at night (well early morning) due to a club nearby (I think??) but after a long day exploring you can easily sleep right through. Possibly bring ear plugs. The only other slight issue is that the Bathroom is a little small but you don't spend much time in there anyway. I recommend Simona's apartment as a great place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

    Simona was so sweet and accommodating. We arrived in Barcelona before check in and she was able to let us check-in early. The place was so cute!! I love what she’s done to it. In a very convenient location. There is a little bar down the street perfect for a glass of wine or a beer at the end of the day. A street over there are all of these adorable restaurants and bars. My husband and i ended up there almost every night. Would definitely stay here again!!!

    에이 플러스라해서 기대치가 높았나봅니다. 체크인을 도와주는 직원도 그다지 친절하다는 인상은 못받았고..ㅠ 집이 깨끗하고 특이한구조이기는 하지만 반지하다보니 어둡고 계단을 오르내리는일이 무척번거로웠습니다. 밤에 침실에서 화장실가려면 철로된 계단을 내려와서 거실통과해서 다시 올라가야.ㅠ

    Absolutely brilliant! The place is small but if you are interested in staying in a tiny house this is so so so cool! This place is in a great location, (Hidden by Airbnb) maps might spook you a bit but honestly the area is great! Loads of food places, close to the beach and easy underground connections. Stay here if you’re in Barcelona you won’t regret it!

    From my initial booking until checkout, everything went smoothly. Excellent communication. As described. The space is high quality and homey and well equipped. Also, thanks to Zine for being understanding about my late arrival due to bad weather. For a no-fuss stay, I definitely recommend!

    This apartment is perfect, I would absolutely recommend it to any friend of mine! It's in the cutest area, El Poble Sec, with so many cute bars and restaurants. I traveled on my own and felt entirely safe and comfortable in this apartment. The apartment itself is so well kept and such a cool space. I don't have an issue sleeping with street noise but that's the only thing to be aware of, a passing car or something. But since it's a side street that happens so rarely. Honestly, the place is amazing! Everyone stay here!

    Lovely place to stay with a responsive host. What more could you want?

    Simona's place was great! The interesting layout of the house made it quite an experience. The only downside was its proximity to a disco around the block. As I'm a light sleeper, I read through all of the reviews and checked that others have thought that the noise was to its minimum when the windows were shut. This wasn't the case for us as it was Christmas when we visited and people were partying all throughout the week from 2 to 6 am. Thankfully, Simona was a great host and helped us change the reservation to check out early to move to a hotel. She apologized for the noise, and I let her know that it wasn't her fault. Simona also recommended other parts of Barcelona where it's more suburban and quiet, which was very nice of her. If you are looking to party and really walk around the town, this is the place you should go for. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, be aware that there are going to be some noises on the weekends at night.

    We stayed here for 4 nights. Would like to list the pros and cons of a this place. The place was good but I feel its not worth the money. This property is listed under Airbnb plus and hence is a little overpriced. But this was our 3rd Airbnb stay is Spain and i feel there was nothing special to be listed under an Airbnb property. Pros : Location - Very close to one of the main metro stations and bus stop. Just 3-4 mins walk. Also lot of attractions of Barcelona are nearby. Checkin - Checkin and checkout was smooth.Need to call the host 1-1.5 hrs before arrival or share the details. Comfortable bed - The bed was really comfortable.Had a good sleep during the stay. Equipment - Well equipped kitchen with all the facilities you will need during your stay. Cons : Levels : The bedroom is not connected to the toilet directly. Everytime you need to visit the toilet from the bedroom you have to come down to the living room and climb up to the toilet again. This is because the house is built on split levels. The bedroom is placed few steps above the entry door and the living room is few steps below the entry door. The toilet is at the same level as the entry but on the back side.This becomes a little irritating when you are there for a long stay. Toilet size : The toilet is too small. The WC is placed so close to the washbasin that you cant even sit there comfortably. I am 6ft tall and i wasn’t able to sit there without legs hitting the washbasin. Ventilations : The house has poor ventilation since its located on the ground floor. The windows open towards the road so you have to keep it shut. AC : The AC is located in the bedroom. So wont be effective in the living room below TV : Would have been nicer if there was a Netflix connection. We had the same in Madrid and was quite useful when at home Overall i feel the place is not worth the money they charge. You can find a property which is not Airbnb plus and save some money.

    Good place in a great location. Bathroom is small and they have a strict policy on cleaning the place before you leave, so probably not the best place for partying at. Overall a good place to stay!

    Appartement petit mais fonctionnel. Il est à moitié de plein pied et à moitié sous terre (avec mezzanine) L’entrée donne de plein pied sur une petite rue. Enfants déconseillé car 2 escalier en colimaçon. Idéal pour couple car cosí et beaucoup de petits commerces et bar à tapas à 2 pas. Pas rencontrer Simona mais très bon contact par message et téléphone et reçu comme prévu à l’heure d’arrivée Nous avons passé un bon séjour

    除了地理位置很好,确实走上几分钟就到了地铁二号三号线,还没发现其它有什么优点!如果你想夜里起床去个卫生间上下爬19级台阶,大可以选择住在这里!如果你想住在半地下室也可以选择住在这里!

    The unit was exactly as advertised. Very nice location close to some local gems and an easy walk to Las Ramblas. We would stay here again!
