The location of the property was perfect. Close to many great restaurants and a metro station. Also very tastefully decorated. The apartment has everything you need even for a longer stay. The bathroom is spacious and the kitchen well appointed. Ivan met us at check in and gave us a tour of the apartment and many tips for enjoying Barcelona. We had a great stay.

We travelled as a family of 4 with 2 young boys and found the property to have everything we needed for a 5 night stay. It did seem a little bit smaller than the photos but it didn’t bother us as it is such a stylish and comfortable apartment. Nice to have 2 bedrooms as opposed to one bedroom and a sofa bed in a lounge. The location is fantastic and we found everything in Barcelona so accessible via Parallel metro station which is just a few minutes walk away. There are lots of bakeries nearby, ideal for an cheap & easy breakfast with coffee. Defo check out Carrer de Blai which is literally around the corner of the property. The street is packed with authentic tapas bars and we particularly enjoyed ‘Billys’ for brunch and ‘Dinos’ for ice cream. There are numerous convenience stores and supermarkets within walking distance. If we were to visit Barcelona again, I would definitely stay in this location, in this apartment.

Charming Parallel is a superbly practical and bright apartment which has been recently redecorated, while taking care to preserve some of the attractive original features including the vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls.

Neighbourhood information

The apartment is located in 'Poeta Cabanyes' street, seconds away from Parallel Avenue, in what is currently considered one of the trendiest neighborhood in Barcelona: Poble Sec. This apartment will be the perfect place from where to explore everything that Barcelona has to offer either walking (10 minutes to Las Ramblas, 5 minutes to the Marina Port, 1 minute to the Gothic Quarter) or by metro (Parallel metro station is 1 minute away). The neighborhood, Poble Sec, has become in the past years a bustling area full with traditional local businesses together with some of the best restaurants in Barcelona (former nr. 1 chef in the world, Ferran Adria, has opened with his brothers 4 restaurants in Poble Sec, very close to the apartment: Tickets, Pakta, 41º and Bodega 1900). Feel like a local staying in a comfortable and modern apartment in the city center.
