The view off the small balcony was really nice. Fun seeing people coming and going. Would recommend. Second shower very small. A few things that needed attention in the place, but altogether, happy we were there! ##### Fred K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark W. 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly Terrible Bed We stayed 8 days at this location. We loved the location for convience to local area. The unit is consistent with the pictures and amenities on the listing and we enjoyed our time there. However the bed in the master bedroom was unbearably hard. To the extent it woke us up multiple time each night which obviously had a significant impact on our overall comfort and enjoyment of the stay. We requested a mattress topper to make the bed more comfortable and the property management company indicated it was a new bed less than 1 year old and there was nothing that could be done. ##### Mark W.

It is managed by a management company. Communication can be slow to get response. TV did not work and it took 3 days for a response to request. Mattresses are very firm. Apartment did feel safe and secure. Location is great! ##### Kathy H. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark M., Overland Park, KS USA 30 Oct 2018 #### Close to Shops and Restaurants Secure apartment on second floor with good elevator. Apartment entrance opens out to small plaza with outdoor cafes followed by endless shops and restaurants down the streets and a large fresh food market nearby. Overall, apartment in pretty good shape (except for some minor floor damage) and stocked with all the cooking hardware needed; except for a dishwasher. Be sure to pay balance for apartment before the arrival due date, or pay extra local taxes. ##### Mark M. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim B. 20 Nov 2018 #### Great Location and Comfortable Apartment Very well positioned if you like to be near the bars, cafes and sights of the Born area - you won't run out of choices! Lots of sights in walking distance and the Metro isn't too far (Jaume 1 or Arc de Triomphe). Apartment has most things you'll need - some of thre furniture is showing a bit of use, as are the bathrooms - but still useable. Little balcony is handy for a coffee in the fresh air (bit of a squeeze!) and a view of the street below, which is busy during the day and evening, but not a traffic thoroughfare, so just feels nicely lively. Decent cafes just on the doorstep, so handy for a late breakfast! Note that on arrival, the agent was waiting in the apartment, so had to ring as we didn't know which buzzer to press (entrance from the square, 2A on 2nd floor from memory). Enjoyed our 3 nights there, so worth a go if you fancy this area. ##### Tim B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted M. 9 Oct 2024 ##### Ted M.

Spacious, modern, and clean. With washer/dryer, great for longer trips. Can't say enough about location. We walked to the beach at Barceloneta, the Gothic Quarter, El Raval, Las Ramblas, and the market at la Boqueria. We used Google maps to help us with navigating public transportation. The neighborhood is an oasis away from traffic, packed with restaurants and tapas bars, charming stores, and little grocery stores, all right outside the front door. Safe to walk around at night. Loved our stay. ##### Gina C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jannemarie d. 5 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Goede plek!

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2018 #### Great location but tired apartment and poor service The location in the old town is fabulous. Had difficulty finding the address upon arrival. The cab driver was little help. Upon arriving, the representative was in the apartment, rather than on the street outside, as agreed. This caused confusion. The apartment is tight for two adult couples. Very little hanging space or drawers. Very little room in one of the one of the bathrooms. The couch and chairs needed to be cleaned, as did the bathrooms where there was black mold. Several lights were not working. One of the shower heads fell off, as did one of the shower soap dispensers. We barely had enough toilet paper for our stay. A day before departing, we requested transportation to the airport. It didn't come. When we called, the representative said we were supposed to get confirmation from the transport company directly, which was never explained. They suggested we call and provided the number. We rolled our luggage a few blocks and fortunately were able to catch a taxi pretty easily. When we were halfway to the airport, they called to say the transportation would be at our apartment to pick us up in 5 minutes. Glad we built in extra time to get to the airport. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nelly G. 17 Jul 2018 #### Good location, nice building, needs updated living room furniture Nice building, good bones for the apartment, helpful staff.

Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Karl U. 10 Jul 2018 #### Comfortable apartment on a mini-plaza At check-in and very explicitly on the agreement we signed, guests are expected to wash all kitchen items used...something we ALWAYS do anyway...But there wasn’t a dish-drying rack provided. Minor complaint, but be advised that the excessively large “security “deposit” could be forfeited if dishes are left unwashed! ##### Karl U. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christopher S. 25 Apr 2018 #### Everything is Worn Down The furnishings in this unit are not as pictured--they are at the end of their usable lives. The furniture is disgusting, we really did not want to even sit on the upholstered surfaces. They were stained, warn, cushions flattened and dirty, holes in the upholstery, etc. The showers all leak, the tile is all loose, the moldings are all damaged from water damage. The floors in many places are worn to the sub-flooring. The beds are just gross, slumped on the edges, hard, dirty, uncomfortable. The sheets were clean, blankets not so much. When we arrived the unit had not been cleaned, the property managers apologized profusely, but offered no mediation. We were told we had to immediately pay additional city tax fees, even though our VRBO booking said paid in full. The house keeper arrived and did an amazing job, but could not correct the issues listed above. She really was wonderful. Habitat was terrible. Their response was basically "Nothing we can do", basically a big "tough luck". We had no other options, it was impossible to get a last minute hotel. Habitat was also completely non-responsive to e-mails during our stay, I had hoped to book an airport shuttle through them--no reply. The internet is worthless, it keeps dropping and is not accessible from 1/2 of the unit. It's also extremely slow. The ONLY positive aspect about this place was the location, it was perfect! This is the only reason it gets ONE star, otherwise I would say none. I doubt this review will even make it on VRBO, they keep changing the listing number in order to hide negative reviews. Stay somewhere else in El Born, with another company! ##### Christopher S. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Allison B. 9 Apr 2018 #### Great location! We were two couples staying for a week in Barcelona. This was our first time in the city and we lucked out with this apartment. It was located in the middle of the El Born neighborhood, walkable to so many shops and restaurants. The place was good for 4 people and we were comfortable there. Tons of natural light in the main living area and a nice, small balcony for viewing what's up below. Check in was easy. If pressed for feedback, I'd say that the kitchen is not really ready for people to do much cooking and we had to wash our glasses and mugs before using them. They were put away in the cabinet dirty by someone prior to our arrival. The beds are hard as rocks, but I think this is standard in Europe? The second bedroom doesn't have a closet and that was a bit difficult since we were living there for the week. I like to hang my things up while traveling. ##### Allison B.
