Wow, wow, wow!!! Incredible, fantastic location. David’s place is on a quiet pedestrian street that looks like a movie set back in time. Yet just a couple block walk to the metro where we navigated the city to everywhere we wanted to go, including the airport. Use Red Line L1 Arc de Tromp stop for David’s place! The area of Born is filled with delicious cafes, patisseries and local artesian shops full of charm. We were quickly embraced by locals and felt safe walking in the wee hours of the night.
The cozy Born apartment was a delightful little place to come home too, with very comfortable beds and pleasant decor. Heating worked great and AC would work well too if needed. There are plenty of windows and light. Having a washing machine for clothes was an added bonus. The kitchen had all the basics, however we never cooked at home as there were so many great places to eat all around. The shower is tiny so if you are large it would be difficult moving around.
Enjoying Barcelona during Christmas New Year Holidays was especially nice as the streets are decorated with beautiful, magical lights.
David was a perfect host, very welcoming and responsive communicator he went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We highly recommend David’s place and would return for sure!
