My wife and I (mid 30's) spent a lot of time researching apartments for our anniversary trip, and it can be unnerving looking for a place overseas. But this place was absolutely fantastic for the 5 nights we were there! We got the 1 bedroom, and we were on the 3rd floor but the place has an elevator so no stairs issue. The place was spotless clean when we arrived. Very modern amenities in the kitchen and bathroom, with an old world style considering brick walls and beamed ceilings. The place had plenty of room. In the living area, we had 3 large french doors that opened up to a charming view of the old town below. One window in our bedroom but it faces another building so there's no noise. The bed was comfortable, and we didn't hear street noise at all since we're about a block off a street. The water pressure was incredibly strong with endless hot water. We went in mid June and the temps throughout the apartment were very comfortable. Checkin and checkout was effortless, and they held our bags while we roamed on our last day. Minibar was a nice touch as you can eat/drink and pay at the end (it was cheap). The rooftop terrace was a nice touch, but admittedly we didn't use it much because it could get hot during the day. It closes at 7pm so didn't get to use it for evenings. The location can't be beat! We wanted old town feel, and El Born delivers. Within a 1 minute walk were fantastic coffee/breakfast/lunch spots. Charming stone walkways all around, access to the beach within 10 minutes, close to so many of the main attractions to Barcelona, but also easy to just wander around the old town for drinks and food. We would recommend this place to family and friends, and we'd stay there again if we visited!
