This apartment has been recently renovated and tastefully decorated. It is located in the trendy area Poble Sec, just a few meters from the pedestrianised Carrer Blai with its street cafés and tapas bars.It is located on the first floor (with a lift) and there is a living dining room with an open plan kitchen (perfectly equipped with a microwave, a coffee maker, a toaster, a kettle and a washing machine). Furthermore, there is a sofa-bed for a 5th person in the living room, TV and WIFI internet. There are 2 bedrooms, 1 with 2 single beds (normally prepared as a kingsize double) and 1 with a double bed. The bathroom is spacious and has a shower. There is air-con and heating and 2 small balconies overlooking the street. The Poble Sec neighbourhood lies immediately outside of the touristy Barcelona city centre. It stretches from Plaza España to the port, nestled between the bustling Avenida Parallel and the enormous park areas on Montjuïc, one of the city''s many hills. The Poble Sec has managed to maintain its charm and authenticity better than most neighbourhoods.The area is full of bars and restaurants that seem immune to the trendy makeovers so many central establishments have undergone in recent years. The neighbourhood''s main pedestrian thoroughfare, Carrer Blai, is also lined with bars and restaurants as is the charming Plaza Sortidor. Children play on the streets, neighbours chat on doorsteps, families sit together over long lunches; life here has a communal and intimate feel that has all but disappeared from other parts of the city.The Poble Sec also offers a wide range of cultural activities. Avenida Parallel was once the Broadway of Barcelona and still features several popular theatres such as the Apolo and the Victoria. In the upper part of the Poble Sec, at the foot of Montjuïc, lies the Teatre Grec, a wonderful open-air amphitheatre, and the Teatre Lliure-Mercat de les Flors complex, one of the city''s most innovative cultural spaces.Another neighbourhood perk is the enormous Montjuïc Park where you''ll find some of Barcelona''s most important sports facilities, including the Olympic Stadium, a Botanical Garden and other beautiful green areas and two of the city''s renowned museums, the Joan Miró Foundation and the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC), located in a spectacular palace overlooking the Plaza España. At the very top of Montjuïc, surrounded by lawns and pine forests, sits a fortress with a spectacular panoramic view of the city.You can go walking to las Ramblas (15 min) and the gothic area and by metro or bus to all other parts of the city. The metro stop of Paral.lel is only 5 minutes from the apartment.Please be aware that HousingAnywhere is an online booking platform.
