The apartment is in a very central location, right by the lively Plaça Sant Jaume, really close to lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and the hustle and bustle of the Barri Gòtic. It's a short walk from Las Ramblas, the cathedral, the waterfront, and El Born for yet more choice of bars and restaurants. You are so close to everything! The apartment is beautifully and simply decorated, and historically authentic. We loved it! The room itself is spacious, airy and nicely arranged by Alejandra. It’s quite separate from the family part of the apartment too, so you feel very private even though it’s a shared apartment, and the small private bathroom is just across the hall. Alejandra is one of the best hosts we've met in Airbnb. She was so warm and welcoming, it was like staying with a friend, and we loved our energetic welcome to the house by little Mikyo! Although there are lots of places close by to eat, it was really nice to have a breakfast prepared by Alejandra for us every morning. We absolutely loved our time in Barcelona and already want to plan our next trip there!
