We stay there for one month and we literally couldn't find a better place.
The location was perfect : El Born is a really nice place with a lot of life, little shops, bars and nice restaurants. It's an no-car area so we enjoyed a lot working around in this charming place of Barcelona. It's 1omin walking from the beach and from Placa Catalunya, so it's really easy to go everywhere, and furthermore the metro station Jaume I is at a 3 min walking distance.
The apartment was conform to pictures and description. It was really cosy so we feel very comfortable during our stay. Modern and clean. The neighbours were really welcoming and helpfull. We also feel really safe since the apartment a an alarm system (really simple to use). Also appreciate the automatic blinds. :) There are two cofees down the building but it's not noisy because there are more for morning cofees, etc. Of course it can be noisy in the night, but only a little but since the isolation is good and if you are in El Born, you will automaticaly find night life in the week-end.
We really want to thank you Helena for help. She sent us a lot of informations about Barcelona before coming, and we have been welcomed by her brother Antonio who is super nice too. He explained us everything about the apartment, and Helena kept in touch with us to be sure everything was okay. During our stay, we had a plumbing problem in the kitchen and Antonio took a taxi and immediately come to help, and called someone to repare it. Helena's mum was also here for us to fix little things in the apartment and to answer really kindly to our lots of questions.
We only can highly recommand a stay there !
