My family and I had a great stay in this apartment for 3 days in late June. It has an amazing location, particularly for those who want to walk out the door into the heart of the action of the El Born neighborhood. It's pretty special to step onto the apartment balcony and have a great view of the Church of Santa Maria del Mar. We stocked up on groceries at the great Santa Caterina market, which is only a short walk from the apartment. Roberto and team were very professional and very communicative. We were met as promised at the apartment on the day of arrival by Stephania, who gave us a good orientation. Although the area around the apartment is very, very busy with tourists, we did not experience any problems with noise. We felt safe throughout our visit in this location. The apartment has a very cool design that maximizes the tight space. The only drawback of this place in my opinion is that the two bathroom spaces are very cramped and hard to maneuver in particularly for our family of four. Overall, I would recommend the Born apartment for anyone wanting to be in the middle of the action in a historic old part of Barcelona.
