We loved the style of the apartment, with exposed brick/stone and modern decor. Alex was very prompt with communication. My kids loved the room with the loft-like bed. We ate at a recommended restaurant that Julia told us about (El Sortidor), just around the corner, and it was one of our favorite meals. We enjoyed the Magic Fountain, just a short walk away. We walked to El Born district one morning. It was a long walk, but manageable. We took the subway home, and that was an easy walk back to the apartment, past a couple yummy pastry shops. We would recommend this apartment!
