I could not ask for a more perfect space for its location. Literally steps from anything you could need, restaurants, super markets, clothing shops, pharmacies ect. Open your bedroom window and you get a beautiful view of one of Santa Maria’s towers.
We were greeted by the hostess order Milicia. You could not ask for a more gracious host. We contacted her to see if we could drop our luggage off early and she immediately accommodated us. She explained that very thing we would need to know about the apartment and gave us tips for the area. She also conducts tours so is quite knowledgeable about the whole area.
About the apartments itself. It was perfect. One of the best features was that it had an elevator. You won’t find many spaces in El Born that have one. Having two bedrooms allowed my husband and I to have separate spaces so he could work undisturbed. The second bedroom could easily accommodate another couple or children. The master bedroom has sliding doors and curtains along with a shuttered window. If you want a siesta during the day you can make it pitch dark. The kitchen was well equipped if you are interested in cooking. We didn’t make any meals because eating in Barcelona is so reasonable that the most we did was reheat leftovers in the microwave.
This was by far one of the best homes we have ever rented. You will not be disappointed. We plan on staying next year at the same place.
