El Born, Barcelona

Simple, stylish, short-let apartments in one of Barcelona's hippest neighbourhoods

Reviewed by Glenda May Richards

BARCELONA LIVING - AT A GLANCE Barcelona is one of those cities that every time you visit, you invariably think, ‘Hey, I could really live here...’ (at least I do). That’s why the name ‘Barcelona Living’ so suits the smart apartments we’ve found in the newly-trendy Born neighbourhood ... there’s nothing like having keys to a flat in the centre of town to stop you from feeling like a tourist. The one-bedroom apartments are clean, bright and young – not unlike the clientele, many of them employees of film & production companies who use the flats as base camp for week-long shoots. Each of the four flats has its own floor and the self-controlled lift opens directly into the living space. The proximity to markets and the sizeable kitchenette means eating schedules are entirely up to you - and besides, being just off the Passeig del Born means you’re never far from a bar and a late night botifarra (sausage snack). Stay here and you'll get a taste of being a real resident of Barcelona.

HIGHS Come and go as you please – no hassle with hotel check-in times and breakfast serving hours. Home away from home – there’s flats in London that aren’t half this nice or this size! Ideally located in the heart of El Born, where there’s no shortage of boutiques, restaurants and hidden watering holes for night owls And for culture vultures, the Picasso Museum is just a stroll away.		LOWS No swimming pool, spa or any of the luxury side-benefits of hotel life. No dishwasher so cleaning up after meals might destroy that holiday mood – the daily maid won’t wash up, I’m afraid. Early-morning rubbish runs and revellers echoing through the narrow streets means peace and quiet shouldn’t be a priority.
