It’s on the doorstep of the magnificent Picasso Museum and MOCO, Barcelona’s new Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Chocolate Museum and the Ciutadella Park. It’s a 5-minute walk from the beautiful palm-fringed marina and the cathedral, a 10 minute walk from the Ramblas, and just 15 minutes from the beaches that led to Barcelona being crowned Nº1 Beach City in the World by National Geographic Magazine.

The apartment has a floor area of 90m2 and provides real home from home comfort and every luxury to make your holiday accommodation extra special. It has high speed fibre optic internet at 100mbps, duck down duvets in winter, a Nespresso coffee machine and a home cinema system.

It is spacious with open plan areas in the living room & kitchen/dining room. It has high vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams and French windows leading out onto little wrought iron Juliette balconies.

It has a landline, a breakfast bar, a split-level spa-style bathroom with a huge shower cubicle. It even has a secret door!

The apartment was also featured in a TV documentary on Catalán interiors.

Brilliant Barcelona
We had a great time staying at Kay's lovely place in El Born, Barcelona. The apartment itself is clean and spacious and full of thoughtful touches like a Nespresso machine, a multi device charging station, an easy to use TV and more. Our hosts were helpful, patient and very responsive. The location is safe, central, convenient and full of character. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this incredible city especially if you need two bedrooms.

This property is located in one of the most desirable areas. Shops and restaurants at your doorstep. Around the corner from the Picasso Museum and so much more. Lots of room for two couples or a family of 4. Absolutely loved it.

Fantastic location and comfy!
This lovely cozy place had everything we needed. Could benefit from blackout curtains in bedroom areas. Location is so perfect for first time tourists to Barcelona. Great neighbourhood!

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!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello there! The first thing I should probably tell you is that I came to Spain on holiday for 2 weeks in 1988 and stayed! I guess the sun, the cuisine, the culture and outdoor lifestyle all had something to do with it. The fact is I’ve never stopped enjoying the things I love here. I moved from Valencia to Barcelona in 2000 and have worked throughout that time as a teacher and translator as well as a property manager now too of course! My life is busy and diverse and also involves making regular trips back to Scotland, where I was born. I feel really lucky to live in such beautiful places - I love the contrast between the two. Nevertheless, be warned! If my own experience is anything to go by and you do decide to come here on holiday, you may end up staying a bit longer than you bargained for!!

Why they chose this property

Quite simply – it was love at first sight. The Born area of the city centre is utterly magical and this was the first and last apartment I looked at. I often walk through the gorgeous winding streets and alleyways surrounding the apartment with their myriad boutiques and terrace cafés bathed in sunlight before heading back to the apartment and sitting in the peace and quiet of the living room, soaking up the beauty of it all and thinking - yes - this is the essence of the place I love. The Born has become even more charming and beautiful since I bought the apartment in 2003 and if I could come back to Barcelona now and see it all again as if it were the first time, it’s still this apartment in this part of town I would hope to find.

What makes this property unique

Firstly I would say it's the location. It’s right in the middle of the most historic, beautiful and happening area of the city with the benefit of being nestled in a quiet pedestrian-only side street, which is just a 15 minute walk from the beach. The apartment itself has the perfect contrast, so distinctive to Barcelona, of seamlessly blending old and new; design without compromising on comfort. Having the award-winning Hoffman bakery (best croissants I have ever tasted) just around the corner may also have something to do with it though! Or it might be the proximity to Cal Pep (delicious seafood) or Bar Pla (delicious everything)! Most likely though it's a combination of all of these things and coming in through the front door after a day out, sitting down, kicking my shoes off and relishing that wonderful sensation of feeling totally at home in a foreign land.
