This location is FANTASTIC!!! Cannot say enough about the neighborhood for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Very central to parks, gothic, and la rambla. We walked to Sagrada Familia and Guell—it’s a long walk but beautiful! We made a dinner reservation at Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar—a perfect evening stroll through the adorable streets of El Born. The apartment is no frills but has everything you need—just right for sightseers who are more interested in being out and about! Oh and be careful walking down the old marble stairs—they are worn down and it’s easy to slip. My daughter slid down and hurt her arm—no breaks but big bruises!
