Great location in the Gothic area. Apartment was clean and great for our family. Be aware that a cab can not drop you right at the apartment and there are stairs so be prepared with your luggage. It's completely manageable but just something to know. We LOVED the location!

Amazing property and location!

Kay, Christine and Sarah were all amazing to communicate with. Everything was super easy from a late check-in to check out. The location was amazing with the majority of everything within walking distance including Barceloneta Beach. Some of the best restaurants in Barcelona are with a 5-15 minute walk from the property. We would absolutely stay here again. Kay and Christine, thank you for sharing your home with us!

I picked this place for the location and it really didn’t disappoint. The apartment was extremely clean and spacious and it comfortably fit my daughter and I. Check in was a breeze and the person doing the check in was very friendly and informative. Communications with the apartment owner was excellent. She would reply to any of my questions very quickly. The apartment is on the 2nd floor and the building doesn’t have an elevator so you have to carry your luggage up the narrow stairs. It wasn’t an issue for me but wanted to note that for groups with young children or a lot of baggage.This place is central to everything and is located very close to several museums and restaurants! Easy walking to many sights or hop on the metro for further trips.

About the host

Hosted by Kay Davidson

Host profile image
Hello there! The first thing I should probably tell you is that I came to Spain on holiday for 2 weeks 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. After some time I moved from Valencia to Barcelona 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.
