The apartment was well located for the El Born area and was a great base for us to explore Barcelona from. We collected the keys from Deco's business offices and were taken to our apartment which was a few minutes walk away. The apartment is compact, but had three small balconies overlooking the street. We also had access to a rooftop terrace which was an amazing place to have breakfast or a nightcap! As a word of caution, we arrived in Barcelona after a heavy storm and the hot weather caused unpleasant smells to rise up through the shower drain - make sure to use the drain cover provided to prevent this! The apartment was fully air conditioned and had a small kitchen. At night, there was some noise from the street, as the apartment is in a popular area, but nothing that disturbed our sleep particularly. All in all, the apartment had all the essentials as a central base from which to explore Barcelona
