This stay in the heart of El Born is of great value in so many different ways! It was incredibly spacious, clean, well air conditioned, with a location that you just can't beat. It was so easy to travel around and explore the city everyday during our stay, but also live comfortably... the apartment is just a 2 minute walk to the nearest metro station (Jaume I) and within less than 10 minutes you could walk to several well-stocked supermarkets, including our favorite Santa Caterina Market (a less touristy Boqueria!). So many great restaurants, shops, and bars to explore in this neighborhood that it was hard to want to leave! Check-in was a little challenging (there were some small language barriers) and on our check-out day someone entered our apartment an hour early to clean it (she didn't seem to know the check-out time). We also felt that the decoration in the pictures was misleading -- the actual apartment is pretty bare with no plants, etc., so it's not as bright. However, we loved just about everything else! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
