This lovely apartment was the perfect location for our exploration of Barcelona. El Born had the best restaurants, bars and shops and was in walking distance of the ocean and almost everything else that we wanted to experience. The apartment is very cozy and quaint - though definitely a tight fit for 4. The upstairs deck was fabulous even though it was colder than we hoped for our stay - we still really enjoyed sunsets and afternoons there. We had a few mechanical issues with the apartment, but I guess it's to be expected with such a historic building! The staircase is NO JOKE - be absolutely sure that you want to carry your luggage up and down, not to mention having a bit of a workout every time you leave the apartment. The guide that Thomas and his sister provide was AMAZING - so many suggestions I could have stayed for weeks longer to try them all out.
