This apartment is a cosy and serene refugee from the city. High ceilings add drama to the warm, modern vibe of the raw-wood furniture and touches. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, coupled with the balcony, makes it a great social space, with plenty of room to unwind and chat over a glass of wine. Throw a record on the turntable as you settle in for a relaxing evening. Located in the bohemian heart of the old town, surrounded by charming narrow streets. El Born is also known for its great tapas bars and trendy restaurants, so you can eat your way through the city in style.

About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
