Poblenou Beach Penthouse l Loft with Private Terrace l 5 min Walk to the Beach

Very good

Pros: It was very nice and comfortable, and in good condition. The streets around had a lot of good restaurants.

Cons: There was no elevator and it is on the last floor up so had to carry the bags all the way to the top.

pleasant, well located small apartment with terrace up quite some stairs

Pros: This is a perfectly pleasant small apartment on the top floor of a relatively old building - left and right modernised ones are sprouting up, one can see that the area is up and coming and there are a wealth of hipster cafes and restaurants just around the corner and easy access to the beach. The terrace is indeed an asset for those who love the sun and there is a generous amount of furniture on the terrace (small table with 2 chairs, 2 sunbeds plus two armchairs).

Cons: This is clearly a loft conversion (nothing wrong with that of course), however, you can hear the neighbour's every move. It's up three flights of very narrow stairs (that was advertised but the stairs are so narrow that you need to carry your luggage either in front of you or behind you, I had a suitcase, that was a mistake). Bathroom and kitchen are tiny (and I mean tiny), if you are obese you will struggle. The wardrobe has a rather odd partition (you can hang two coats or 5 shirts and everything else needs to be folded). The terrace has a bird shit problem, whilst there is not much the landlord can do it might be worth thinking about providing a cover for the table and chairs? (or at least some gloves and utensils to clean?)

Fantastic place!

Pros: Absolutely perfect place, perfect location, and outstanding customer service! I loved this place and the communication w the team was excellent they were so very helpful when I had to unexpectedly change my dates! Thank you so, so much Guys!

Quirky rustic charm, but with some issues

Pros: Amazing private patio overlooking the street where you can hear all the activity from nearby Rambla de Poblenou, fun authentic rustic beach house vibe. Many things that you wouldn't put up with at a hotel are normal for this kind of quirky authentic old style Spanish home, and part of its charm. After the first few times, the stairs get easier as you get used to it. Great location, around the corner from Rambla de Poblenou.

Cons: Unfortunately, I have to deduct a point for the following: Very steep narrow stairs that are barely wide enough for a carry-on suitcase with inconsistent sized steps, some much narrower than normal adult feet as shown in my photos, so are a bit scary, AC dripped randomly a significant amount of water making a puddle near the bed , extremely loud construction noise next door from demolition each morning. You hear lots of drilling and hammering of cement, and falling concrete, plus workers talking loudly. Sometimes so loud, it hurts your ears. I know this is temporary and not the listing's fault but it doesn't seem like new construction that just started, and seems to be an ongoing renovation, and there should be a construction warning to guests during this period. I am being nice and not taking off another point as I know the accommodation has limited control over this. Finally, while I understand the rustic, imperfect look is part of the appeal of this type of housing, there's a big brown stain over the bed that seems like previous water damage, and should be painted over.

Pros: Loved the location. The terrace was wonderful. Bed comfortable, shower pressure great, loved our stay. Communication was brilliant throughout the stay. Everything was thought of to make your stay more enjoyable.

Cons: Didn't love the steps, worth the climb, but something to be aware of.

Perfect location, great price everything you need and clean. Would stay again

Pros: Lovely property, clean, more spacious than the pics and a lovely little sun trap garden. Everything you need which has given us ideas for our air BnB’s. Comfy bed and nothing was too much trouble. If you needed anything the people running it would reply in minutes.

Cons: As everyone has said lots of steps to get there so you have to be quite fit but we were fine. It’s a top floor property but worth it.

Pros: Clean, comfy, well equipped and very tastefully decorated apartment! The apartment is small, but was perfect for 2 of us for 5 days. Had everything you needed there - Aircon/Heating machine, washing machine, coffee pod machine, very comfy euro double bed, ample shelves for clothes, and lots more. Also have a really nice terrace area, although we didn't use it as the weather was a bit wet and chilly. The location too is fantastic in a really classy area with plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes, bakers and grocery shops all within 2-3 minutes walk. Beach was also only a 5 minute walk and good bus and underground connections. Also finally Joel the agent was great for helping us with questions about the area and anything else we needed. Would highly recommend!

Cons: Can't really fault the apartment, area or service from the agent at all.. We will definitely be back to stay here at some point, as it's such a nice apartment/area/service. Only thing to be mindful of is up a few flights of narrow stairs, so not ideal for reduced mobility, but not a bother if not! Also the boiler is quite small, so don't take too long in the shower as we did run out of hot water.. but again, not a big deal if you're conservative/you know!

Amazing made us fall in love with Barcelona more! Perfect perfect perfect!

Pros: I absolutely loved the aesthetic of the apartment! We loved the patio and how many amenities they were especially for a small apartment! We were truly Surprised about that. The location was PERFECT! So central to everything. The customer service was amazing !!! The host was so wonderful and so helpful and very quick and responsive! We definitely will be visiting again!!!

Cons: The only downside was the no lift and the surprise of their being 5 flights of stairs hahahah but totally worth it! I didn’t have to carry the luggage so it was okay for me hahahaha but my partner was still very happy to return despite the no lift either!

Perfect

Pros: The appartment was fantastic, we had everything we needed. Close to the see, some really great restaurants in the \

Cons: I would say, don't eat at \

Pros: Beautiful apartment- really enjoyed my stay there! Great location and would highly recommend it! Perfect for a stay in Barcelona
