DO NOT STAY HERE! **BEWARE, the unit contains SECURITY CAMERAS IN BOTH THE LIVING ROOM AND ENTRYWAY which as of this posting were NOT disclosed either in the listing, or during the check-in. Travelling with two young girls and my wife this made us extremely uncomfortable.
Outside of that, although the location is excellent, that is literally the only thing going for this place.
The unit is located on the 3rd floor of a very old building without an elevator. While this is not uncommon, of course, the steps to reach the unit are dangerous (narrow, uneven, poorly lit, etc). Going up and down with kids/groceries/suitcases is not safe.
Once inside the unit the carpet in the entryway is stained and the entire apartment smells of mildew. While the glass encased bathroom may look good in pictures it is awful and doesn't drain properly making the entire bathroom (toilet/sink area, etc) unusable for 12+ hours after showering.
In the kitchen, the wine fridge, oven and toaster oven were all non-functional. We had booked the unit for approx 45 days but had to leave before making it through a single day.
Definitely not the location we had hoped when we booked the unit. There are many other locations in El Born. Super disappointing.
