Raimundo's apartment was exactly as stated in the profile and even nicer. The apartment is beautiful and the bed and linen very comfortable. The bathroom is spacious for Barcelona. It is super clean, easy to get to from the Airport bus and a nice quiet area. But easy to walk to all the attractions that we wanted to go to.
Raimundo was extremely prompt with all communication, very helpful and warm and friendly. He took a lot of time to explain the best restaurants and beaches to go to. He is very enthusiastic and a lovely host, he even carried my bag up all the stairs which was very kind. We are expecting the steps, all apartment in Barcelona have them - it wasn't a problem. The AC was welcome.
There are some lovely places to eat nearby but the best was Casa Lolea, which is downstairs. Be sure to book if you want to eat there in the evenings, it is very popular! Thank you Raimundo, very much for your romantic apartment in El Born.
Another tip would be to buy your an umbrella for the beach; it is 30 Euros to hire 2 chairs and an umbrella. You can buy one for under ten euros and just sit on a mat or towel. Buy sun cream at home; it is expensive in Barcelona
