Born is a lovely area, really close to many places of interest. Lots of small stores (food, attire, art) nearby, as well as trendy bars and cafes. We liked the area.
If you come by car, you get to park it at Arc de Triomf parking, which is costly (discounts for long-term parking available). Important to know that there is no access to the apartment's building for non-resident cars/taxis! We had to park the car 200 meters away and carry luggage from there. Occasionally they open the street though.
The spiral stairs that get you to the apartment are about 1 meter wide. 70 steps. There is no way to leave kid's stroller/suitcase by the doorway downstairs, as hall doesn't exist. It's an old house, which is cool, but with kids and luggage it was not fun.
Apartment is fine, it is not very new, but price/quality balance is met. It is warm, which is important for winter travellers. It had washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, big fridge, hairdryer, iron..We needed more space to store clothes, only one wardrobe available. Staple items like sugar/salt/oils were also available, thank you. Baby chair and bed were provided, super-helpful!
Mind that bedrooms do not have windows. Hall has two windows that overlook a very small courtyard. View is not spectacular, but it is VERY calm at night, you do not hear pedestrians/motorbikes..
Place is good for easy-travellers, without kids and lots of luggage :)
