Exactly as described.
This apartment was exactly as described. Check-in and communication with the owner was easy and clear. For the trip we had planned, this was a perfect location, right in the heart of the old city, sites, beach and restaurants!
We live in a rural, quiet area, so the noise and night-time activity that the Spanish city culture brings conflicted with our sleep, but this has nothing to do with the apartment, just a heads up for those that are more accustomed to peace at night;) Don't avoid, just be aware and prepared.
Thank you Kay for sharing your space with us! What an experience!

Comfortable and clean with many special touches
We loved the apartment! The hosts were also great. They even made a book with instructions for how to use all appliances/electronics, as well as numerous area recommendations. It was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen has everything you’d need. The living area was extremely comfortable.
One negative: the listing shows this is a 2 bedroom. The bedroom with the queen isn’t totally separate. It is partitioned off the living area by an L-shaped wall. It is still fairly private, but renters may wish to know this.

Great location in El Born neighborhood
Apartment was well furnished and provided welcome amenities like Nespresso maker, w/d combo, dishwasher and high quality linens. The bathroom is newly renovated and quite large, also the on-demand water heater ensured plenty of hot water for sequential showers. The property owner provided a very helpful guide for appliances and other “how to” tips as well as guidebooks and a helpful neighborhood map. Location within ElBorn is super convenient to shops, restaurants, waterfront and historical sites and boasts a fabulous patisserie downstairs and right around the corner. Taxi/uber drop-offs will be a couple of blocks away given location. Barcelona is a beautiful city. The local government is committed to keeping the streets and sidewalks clean and the people are friendly and helpful!

elegant and cozy
Kay's home is lovely, and perfectly appointed. An artful repreve from the magical winding streets it's nestled into. Comfortable, clean and safe. Everything was immaculate and the linens were so comfortable. We had stayed on an ikea mattress in our last city and were so appreciative of the comfort and easy Kay's home provided.

Wonderful Stay
We loved our stay in El Born! The apartment is located in a cute quiet alley. It was very clean and well stocked with appliances, dishes and very spacious. The host, Kay, responded very promptly to any questions we had. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops around. The beach, shopping and attractions are within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Apartment in a great location but a few things to note
We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teens who stayed in December of 2023. Overall we had a good stay and the location of the apartment is perfect for exploring the old town, markets, Picasso museum, waterfront and many other areas by foot. The apartment is in good condition, with functional furniture and a well-stocked kitchen. However, I think it is important to note something we did not realize when booking - the apartment is not a true 2 bedroom, the double bed is located in a partially walled-off area of the living room, with walls that don't go all the way up to the ceiling and there is no door to get to the area where the bed is. We made it work for us but it may not work for 2 couples or if people want to watch TV/ talk in the living room when others are trying to sleep in the double bed. The check-in went well except the meeting spot was tough to find, taxi driver took us to a wrong corner. Get an actual address or a specific landmark from the host where they would meet you for smoother check-in. Finally, upon checkout, we asked whether we could store our luggage since our flight was at 4pm, and were not given the option of storing luggage on premises but instead were told of a nearby shop where they accept luggage for a fee. The fee was excessive for 4 carry-ons and 3 backpacks we paid 45 euros which was upsetting. The owner was responsive and a few things that went wrong could have been a misunderstanding, so spell out to her everything you need.
