This place was perfect! The space is all new with all of the modern amenities, but also has great architectural historic details (Catalan ceilings, brick walls, etc). The windows overlook the interior courtyard which gives you a lot of light all day but without any street noise. At night the wooden shutters block out all the light giving you a perfect nights sleep.
You are 3-4 blocks from the San Anton market, and within walking distance to amazing neighborhoods (Gothic, Born, Poble Sec, Eixample, and the rest of Raval). It’s a very short distance to all of the sights and museums, with many great restaurants within blocks.
Borja was the perfect host - provided information about the apartment and nearby restaurants/bars upon arrival, responded promptly to any concerns (including when I accidentally set off the alarm!), and provided advice on anything related to my stay. He is a person you can trust that looks out for your best interests.
I highly recommend staying here - it’s a beautiful apartment and is ideal for any stay!
