I would absolutely stay at this location again if I return to Barcelona. The apartment is in a wonderful location of the city. You're in the heart of everything without feeling like you're being lured into a million tourist traps. Being close to the metro (down the street) or a 20 min walk to La Rambla, you can easily get...

We stayed eight nights in a two bedroomed Born Apartment in December 2012. It was perfect as it is very centrally located and is close to a metro. We enjoyed the space this apartment offered and it comes with everything you could possibly need - hair dryer, washing machine, excellent kitchen facilities. I don't understand why people stay in hotels.... More

We chose this apartment as we used to live in the area. We had a 2 bed and the 2nd room was an internal room which meant it was nice and peaceful, unusual in the Born district. The apartment was a decent size, neat and clean. The staff at the hotel up the road where we checked in we're very... More

We recently spent 6 days here and were very pleased. It was very clean and modern. It is like staying in an IKEA showroom. Only small complaint is that the bathroom smelled a little bit funky, but was definitely clean. We checked in at the hotel as instructed and found the reception there was warm and very helpful. We got... More

Very clean and very large space for Barcelona. Great location. Allowed later check-in for an apartment because the associated hotel was just down the street. I would definitely recommend this for those needing some decent space - said it could sleep 2 but could easily sleep four.

The apartment was in a great location for visiting all the sights in Barcelona and only a 10 minute walk to La Ramblas and near to plenty of places for eating out.

A block away from a grocery store. Across the street from a "bonboneria y chocolateria". a 7-minute walk from Las Ramblas and Mercat de la Boqueria. Beautifully lit and furnished. Convenient, comfortable,and definitely lives up to the name...both chic and basic. The bathroom was more luxurious than average, and the balconies were a nice touch... Fridge and TV could have...

We stayed in Born Apartments in March with friends. We chose the place due to its location and value (we were on tight budget). We had quite a number of problems and complaints about the apartment. Most of their staff is completely useless, except for the manager (who appeared to have started his job with Born Apartments quite recently). He... More
