we stayed in the apartment of Horacio with a family of 10 people: 8 adults (among who 3 grandparents 70+) and 2 children: we had a most wonderful time! The apartment has 5 excellent double rooms, with good beds and bedlinen. The kitchen is very well equiped. the living area is a bit small for 10 all together but we managed to have breakfast around the table and the weather was beautiful so we stayed outside on the many terraces right around the corner. the apartment is clean and just lovely.
Horacio is a kind person and very relaxed. He explained everything in the apartment quickly and systematically and was available for advise and tips of what to do in Barcelona. He even brought a babychair and bed on request. We didn't do much because the Born neighbourhood is just perfect for getting a good Barcelona vibe. More quiet than for example gotic, and ever so charming, with lots of nice restaurants and shops.in front of the house there's the spacious sunny placa comercial where our children (and parents) played soccer till late hours. beach is very near by as is Ramblas.
