Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
El Born used to be a popular hangout for the medieval aristocracy, and the neighbourhood just can't seem to shake the label of effortless cool. Ready For Adventure is a typical resident of the area, with an eclectic design aesthetic and a great view of Port Vell. There's the obligatory Catalan vaulted ceiling and the tiles in the kitchen are the original set that's been there since the building's construction. There's even a building concierge who will take you to the entrance of your new home, which we think is an excellent way to start a holiday.
