Great studio in the heart of Born fully equipped

The location is certainly the best part of this property. You have access to so many wonderful parts of Barcelona, and the metro is very accessible to anywhere you might want to go. That being said, the bathroom had an odd smell to it. We reached out on the first day to get the wifi password and sadly didn't hear back till the last day. This is partially on us because we couldn't locate the email with that information in it, but communication was lacking a bit. It is also critical to follow the check in information and use the app to get in, we saw many people struggling to get in or use the elevator as they are controlled by an app. The bed could also be updated, it is just 2 twin sized beds pushed together.

Overall it was a fine space. The location in the Gothic quarter couldn't be beat so if location is your primary concern, then I would recommend. The check in is a few blocks away from the actual apartments which they don't really tell you . The space is *very* small. It can sleep two comfortably but there is limited floor space to put your luggage, sit around, etc. You are most likely going to be spending the day and evenings out and about so it's not a huge deal but if you are looking for a space that you can lounge around in, this might be difficult for you. The elevator was broken during the first leg of our stay. The locks on the door were difficult to work. We got lucky and eventually got in after a few tries each time but one morning there was this couple that had to sleep on towels in the lobby because they couldn't get it to work. On our second stay, the elevator works again and opens right into the apartment which was much better. Everything was very clean and the beds were *ok*. We had two twin beds pushed together to sort of form one larger bed. It met our needs just fine.

This apartment was in the best location. We had been wandering around before we checked into our apartment and I made a note to visit this street later because it had so many cool, unique shops on it. Turns out that was the street our apartment was on. The decor was very nice. This is a small studio with a well equipped kitchen (which we never used), an industrial decor, an elevator, and a good sized bathroom. The only thing from keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating is the shower, which could use some updating. It was somewhat mildewed and the water drained slowly and probably just needs to be retiled. Even so, I would greatly recommend this apartment. Shops, groceries, restaurants, bars, and nail salons all a very short walking distance. A block from taxis and the subway.

Only ONE major complaint...the bed was NOT comfortable (thin, lumpy & springy) and that is a critical component when touring long days on holidays. LOCATION was great! Walking distance to beach, shopping & many sights! Studio was QUAINT & clean. Check-in was painless. IF beds are upgraded I would consider a return booking...unfortunately I could not recommend to others until that upgrade has been accomplished. Your Canadian friends Kim & Landon
