Victor’s apartment was perfect for me, solo traveller on my first trip to Barcelona. In the lovely El Born neighbourhood, I felt at safe and at home from the minute I got to the top of the stairs! So close to the Santa Caterina market to get anything you need to have in your fridge - ham, cheese, wine! The small kitchen is well equipped (I didn’t do any cooking but used the fridge for snacks and made lots of sandwiches!), and the Nespresso machine is a treat. The WiFi worked perfectly. The bed is a queen that was so comfortable, the airconditioning worked great during the first couple of warmer days when I needed it. The cozy apartment was always sunny just like Barcelona! I also found the building to be fairly quiet too, and ran the small fan at night to block out any noise there might have been. I slept like I was at home. The patio, located one floor has stunning views, even better than the pictures in the listing, if that is possible. Flor is lovely and made me feel very welcome when I arrived. She also was also full of great tips and was very quick to respond on WhatsApp. As others have said, there are a lot of stairs, but I think this is just what to expect in an older European building, and that was okay for me.
Absolutely everything I could think of was already thought of before I arrived and I had a delightful 10 day stay at this apartment. Couldn’t ask for more! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
