The real winner with this studio is LOCATION! Just off Passeig del Born, there are hundreds of cool bars and restaurants to enjoy as well as interesting shops and sightseeing spots. The El Born area is a great place to be based in Barcelona especially for our trip as it was our first time there. We were met by Carmen who was there at the time arranged and was very helpful. The flat was clean and well equipped with a nice little coffee maker. Shower is good. Flat is very small, would be ideal size for a couple or a small group of friends. Stairs to apartment are metal, cramped and very noisy which made us paranoid about waking the neighbours. However, despite being so close to such a busy street, the street the flat was on is very quiet itself and we had 3 nights of undisturbed sleep on a comfy bed. All in all a good place to be based for our first trip to Barcelona!
