Pictures doesn’t coincide with the reality. In the 2 bedrooms there are basically one bed which you can use (if you don’t want to sleep on the ground).So it is for max 4 (plus one person on the couch), but never for 6.

Hi, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. You were accommodated in two apartments, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each apartment can host up to 6 guests and is furnished with 1 double bed and 4 single beds. We are sorry to hear that you did not find the beds comfortable. We take great pride in providing high-quality accommodation, including premium mattresses and 5-star quality bed linens. While comfort can be a matter of personal preference, we are disappointed that the beds did not meet your expectations. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our guests' experience. Kind regards,

The property's location can not be disputed as good although car access is restricted. We had to walk with bags . If you were to draw a line between tourist vs residential at Av. De Fransesc Cambo: its drops on the residential side a few hundred ft. On the tourist side are a few hotels such as Marriott Edition. Although the access to this apartment is buried in the neighbourhood, in 3 directions and 5 mins you can be on a main street with lots of city options and attractions and minutes from the Gothic Quarter. That's the good stuff. The small issues are this unit has a small elevator and only 3 persons(2 with bags) can get in at one time. Took a 13 member family 20 mins just to get in the room from the ground floor. Other residents were also moving in/out. A common issue for European apts. It does have a staircase but at floor 5 and 6 that was not good for my Sr. Dad. I had 3 apartments: two- 3 bed/2 bath and one- 1 Bed/1 bath. Although smaller than online photos imply, it was lots of rooms and every adult couple had a room and kids all had a bed. To get from apt to the next, you had to use the elevator corridor that allowed the doors of the elevators to open on both sides. Or use the stairs to access via a second door. We found the manual access easier vs waiting on the elevator. At one point the door to the building jammed and once we entered the code and it clicked open, we had to give it a real hard push. I have reported that to Host. They will address. We did have fun.

Hi, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location and that your family had a great time exploring the city. We also appreciate your constructive feedback. We're sorry that the pedestrian-only access made arriving with luggage less convenient, and we understand that the elevator can be challenging for larger groups, especially during busy times. As you mentioned, this is a common feature of many historic buildings in the city, but we appreciate your patience. Thank you as well for letting us know about the building entrance door. We've already reported it to the building management so it will be repaired shortly. . We're glad the apartments worked well for your large family and that everyone had their own space. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Barcelona in the future. Best regards,

Love it

This is the best we have stayed in Spain. The residential area is so close to places of attractions - you will be amazed. Plenty of food options, including some authentic Chinese food around us. We loved the apartment - spotless, clean, tasteful, simple decoration. We enjoyed every minute in it. Cooking was easy with all utensils. Washer and dryer work great! We just LOVE it and want to come back!

Awesome layout and location.

This place is even cooler in person! Awesome layout and location. The beds were comfortable, the towels were huge and fluffy, and the water pressure was wonderful. The high ceilings, and climate control were wonderful additions to our experience too. Also, the produce store and supermarket were located directly across the street for last minute needs. Would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending this apartment to others who plan to visit Barcelona. :)

Perfect El Born location

This company does a very good job of managing their properties. All maintenance questions were answered and resolved properly. I would say the individual spaces are pretty small for 4 adults, but would work great for parents with a 1 or 2 kids. The space is not well insulated from noise, so my suggestion is to bring earplugs to avoid waking up to late night revelers coming back or noise from surrounding units. Hard to beat the location. It's in the heart of El Born. I had such a good time just creating a morning routine of walking the neighborhood. One upgrade/suggestion for the company is to get to get sofas that are more supportive (not old sofa beds) for lounging in the living rooms. But otherwise it's a very comfy stay.

Excellent apartment in a great location!

We were thrilled with this place. But the photos make it look a lot bigger than it is. The living room/kitchen area is very small. Not that we used it much at all since we only used the apartment for showering and sleeping. Bedrooms are rather small also. But maybe this is to be expected in the heart of Barcelona. But the location is amazing. Very clean place. Very comfy. Air conditioning worked great. Good water pressure for showering. Plenty of hot water. Beds very comfy. Quiet at night for sleeping, even with all the bustling activity on the streets outside because the apartment is in the interior part of the building. Families of locals and street parties and just an awesome vibe all around this area. Cafes. Shops. Restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Hola! In this building there are a 3-bedrooms apartments and a 2-bedrooms apartments on each floor. As you asked for 2 3-bedrooms apartments we could not offer to stay on the same floor, we informed about this before you booked. On the other side Barcelona is a multicultural, respectful and open-mind city. Locals are in favour to welcome all the travellers! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you!

best location

Location, location, location - it's what it's all about! Karen's place is a five minute walk from the Placa de Cataluna and a 10 minute walk from Las Rambla. Everything about the neighborhood is just perfect. You feel like a local as you walk down the pedestrian street, drinking your pastries and debating which tapas to have next. The apartments are large and comfortable. We stayed with another family (10 people total). Bedrooms are large and comfortable with plenty of space to unpack and feel at home. Karen clearly communicated directions to the apartments and picking up the keys was easy. The pedestrian street where the apartment is located is super well-lit, so we never felt nervous coming home at night. This place is perfect for exploring Barcelona, especially the Gothic Quarter. I highly suggest booking Karen's place!

Why they chose this property

El Born is sandwiched between Via Laietana and Barceloneta and is served by several metro stops.
The nearest metro station is Urquinaona (L1 and L4 - red lines and yellow lines) and city sightseeing bus nearest stop at 6 minutes walking (red line - Barri Gotic stop).
Las Ramblas are a pleasant 10 minutes walk away.

El Born has been transformed almost overnight into the stylish, in-vogue heart of the city.
Small, intimate, friendly and funky quarter.
The heart and soul of this community is the wide open, tree-lined Passeig del Born. At one end of the Passeig is an impressive metal and glass structure, the former Mercat del Born covered market, while at the other end is one of the most important Gothic churches in all Catalonia, Santa Maria del Mar.

What makes this property unique

Ideal choice for large groups and families heading to the Catalan capital! Located on the heart of the city!

The apartments are spacious and comfortable, with all amenities.
You are welcome!!
