We are a couple in our late 40s moving to Barcelona and spent a month in Mike's place while we were looking for our own place. The apartment was everything we were hoping for and more. It is confortable and cozy, stylishly decorated, practical ( it has everything you need in it), and is perfectly situated. You are walking distance to everything: the stores, the restaurants and bars, the touristic attractions and the public transports. You are also around the corner from the Ciutadella Park which we went to each morning for a work out. There are 4 small balconies from where you can watch the lively atmosphere on the street, and a rooftop. It is in an area of El Born where the cars are restricted so there is almost no traffic which gives it a village feel with the little restaurant downstairs. The host Mike really deserves his Superhost title as he goes out of his way to assist you and make you feel at home. We really enjoyed our stay and warmly recommend Mike's place.
