The appartment was perfect for two persons. It was located in a quiet street, but at the same time close to most facilities. Stayed there for eight days, but months would have made no problem.
Nice clean apartment, centrally located in El Borne. We found plenty of travel guides and phrase books in the flat as well as internet access, which was very useful. Perfect location for bars, restaurants, sights and atmosphere. Plenty of great suggestions from Miguel for things to do, where to eat, good wines, etc. A gentleman.
Nous avons passé 10 jours à Barcelone cet été (Aout 2007). Cet appartement est idéalement placé (en plein centre) pour profiter de tous les atouts de Barcelone. Appartement très bien équipé, propre, avec une déco sympa, un ordi+internet très pratique et notre contact (Miguel) fut très agréable. Nous vous le recommandons vivement (tout comme les glaces au coin de la rue) !
Die Wohnung ist in einer hervorragenden Lage: Man kann alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und den Strand entweder zu Fuß oder nach kurzer Bus- oder Metrofahrt bestens erreichen. Die zentrale Lage bringt bis ca. 2 Uhr morgens einen Lärmpegel mit sich, aber das Leben folgt eben einem anderen Tagesrhythmus. Das Studio ist nicht groß, aber sauber und hat wirklich alles, was man braucht, inklusive eine gute Bandbreite an Reiseführern u.a. Informationen. Man fühlt sich in dieser Gegend auch sicher, auch wenn man nach Mitternacht zurückkommt. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit.
The apartment was wonderful! It's in the perfect location - walking distance to most sights in Barcelona, steps from the lovely Santa Maria church and a host of wonderful restaurants and cafes, 10 minutes walk to the beaches. The neighborhood is calm and safe - I lived there for a month and felt comfortable day and night. Miguel, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.
Excellent location - but very loud on weekends!
The apartment is beautiful and everything one might need (from coffee machine to juice-maker) is provided. The street is a little noisy but the excellent location makes it well worth-while. The contact person is friendly, welcoming, responsible. An excellent choice!
Location is excellent - in a quaint, touristy old-town, right next to a medieval cathedral. Bakery right next door, lots of nice lounges nearby. The apartment is on a narrow street: so the window faces other apartments only a few meters away. The big problem was that the building directly across was being renovated, so it was extremely noisey with saws, hammers, etc starting at 8am in the morning. So no possibility of sleeping in. Miquel was great, however. Was there when I arrived at 9am, and had picked up some groceries for us. The apartment is nice and comofortable.
Fire away and we'll get back to you soon!
