Pictures doesn’t coincide with the reality. In the 2 bedrooms there are basically one bed which you can use (if you don’t want to sleep on the ground).So it is for max 4 (plus one person on the couch), but never for 6.

Love it

This is the best we have stayed in Spain. The residential area is so close to places of attractions - you will be amazed. Plenty of food options, including some authentic Chinese food around us. We loved the apartment - spotless, clean, tasteful, simple decoration. We enjoyed every minute in it. Cooking was easy with all utensils. Washer and dryer work great! We just LOVE it and want to come back!

Awesome layout and location.

This place is even cooler in person! Awesome layout and location. The beds were comfortable, the towels were huge and fluffy, and the water pressure was wonderful. The high ceilings, and climate control were wonderful additions to our experience too. Also, the produce store and supermarket were located directly across the street for last minute needs. Would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending this apartment to others who plan to visit Barcelona. :)

as described

The Apartment was exactly as described on the website. It was very clean and had everything we needed The check in was fast. The apartment is well situated in the Born district within an easy walk of the Beach, the Park and the Ramblas. We thoroughly enjoyed just walking through the alleyways of the Gothic district and discovering hidden squares, historic buildings and coffee shops

Perfect El Born location

This company does a very good job of managing their properties. All maintenance questions were answered and resolved properly. I would say the individual spaces are pretty small for 4 adults, but would work great for parents with a 1 or 2 kids. The space is not well insulated from noise, so my suggestion is to bring earplugs to avoid waking up to late night revelers coming back or noise from surrounding units. Hard to beat the location. It's in the heart of El Born. I had such a good time just creating a morning routine of walking the neighborhood. One upgrade/suggestion for the company is to get to get sofas that are more supportive (not old sofa beds) for lounging in the living rooms. But otherwise it's a very comfy stay.

Excellent apartment in a great location!

We were thrilled with this place. But the photos make it look a lot bigger than it is. The living room/kitchen area is very small. Not that we used it much at all since we only used the apartment for showering and sleeping. Bedrooms are rather small also. But maybe this is to be expected in the heart of Barcelona. But the location is amazing. Very clean place. Very comfy. Air conditioning worked great. Good water pressure for showering. Plenty of hot water. Beds very comfy. Quiet at night for sleeping, even with all the bustling activity on the streets outside because the apartment is in the interior part of the building. Families of locals and street parties and just an awesome vibe all around this area. Cafes. Shops. Restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Hola! In this building there are a 3-bedrooms apartments and a 2-bedrooms apartments on each floor. As you asked for 2 3-bedrooms apartments we could not offer to stay on the same floor, we informed about this before you booked. On the other side Barcelona is a multicultural, respectful and open-mind city. Locals are in favour to welcome all the travellers! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you!

best location

Location, location, location - it's what it's all about! Karen's place is a five minute walk from the Placa de Cataluna and a 10 minute walk from Las Rambla. Everything about the neighborhood is just perfect. You feel like a local as you walk down the pedestrian street, drinking your pastries and debating which tapas to have next. The apartments are large and comfortable. We stayed with another family (10 people total). Bedrooms are large and comfortable with plenty of space to unpack and feel at home. Karen clearly communicated directions to the apartments and picking up the keys was easy. The pedestrian street where the apartment is located is super well-lit, so we never felt nervous coming home at night. This place is perfect for exploring Barcelona, especially the Gothic Quarter. I highly suggest booking Karen's place!

Host profile image

Welcome to Barcelona! We are a professional team with local knowledge happy to help you to live the best experience in Barcelona! We love this city and all it brings to the visitor soul. Now you are part of the Ciutat Comtal! Benvinguts!

Why they chose this property

El Born is sandwiched between Via Laietana and Barceloneta and is served by several metro stops.
The nearest metro station is Urquinaona (L1 and L4 - red lines and yellow lines) and city sightseeing bus nearest stop at 6 minutes walking (red line - Barri Gotic stop).
Las Ramblas are a pleasant 10 minutes walk away.

El Born has been transformed almost overnight into the stylish, in-vogue heart of the city.
Small, intimate, friendly and funky quarter.
The heart and soul of this community is the wide open, tree-lined Passeig del Born. At one end of the Passeig is an impressive metal and glass structure, the former Mercat del Born covered market, while at the other end is one of the most important Gothic churches in all Catalonia, Santa Maria del Mar.

What makes this property unique

Ideal choice for large groups and families heading to the Catalan capital! Located on the heart of the city!

The apartments are spacious and comfortable, with all amenities.
You are welcome!!
