This was our third trip to Barcelona and our first time staying in Le Born. It was wonderful to walk out the door and find good restaurants right around the corner. The church bells (start ringing quite early, warning!) are beautiful and you can see the church from the balcony. The apartment looks just like the photos and this really is a perfect location. The beds are comfortable and the design is spectacular. As has been stated by other reviewers, you can hear EVERYTHING else going on around you, but that has been our experience in almost every big city. Bring earplugs if you are a sensitive sleeper, but don't let that stop you from renting this place.

Roberto was very attentive, responding to questions and requests almost immediately.

There is a certain bit of luxury that is lacking, given the price. Simple things that could easily be remedied -- a few more (and larger) pillows, nicer sheets and towels, extra blankets. Just ONE sharp knife in case you do want to use the kitchen. A rug in the colder months to add warmth (without messing with the aesthetic). Certainly nothing that that should prevent you from renting here.

I recommend the flat to anyone wanting to be in the heart of great shopping and restaurants.
