Born Princesa

Born Princesa is a cosy, open and functional flat, without large dividing walls and with typical Catalan architectural elements, such as the exposed wooden beams on the ceiling. Remember that you are in the medieval heart of Barcelona, characterised by its narrow pedestrian streets and buildings without lifts, as in this case.

The living room, spacious and bright with its large window overlooking the narrow streets of the Born, has a large dining table, a comfortable corner sofa with a coffee table and several cupboards.

The modern and well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing your favourite dishes.

The bedroom has a comfortable double bed, tucked away in a corner of the flat.

Finally, in the blue bathroom, there is a large shower, washing machine and additional storage space.

Although the different spaces share the same ambience, each room has its own identity and purpose, and all have a window and natural light.

And now back to the fairy tale. You are where the craftsmen of the Middle Ages had their workshops.

The names of the streets around you allow you to imagine the characters who worked, lived and dreamed here: carrer dels assaonadors, or leather tanners; carrer dels carders, or wool carders; carrer e de la Neu de Sant Cugat, for the underground stores of snow, a luxury product for preserving foodstuffs almost exclusively used by kings and the nobility at the time.

But this old medieval quarter has been converted into one of the most cosmopolitan and multicultural areas of Barcelona. Here you have everything. Restaurants that give a modern twist to traditional tapas (Can Cisa/Bar Brutal), designer shops (Montse Liarte Atelier), yoga centres (YogaOneBorn), classic patisseries (Brunells) and modern ones (Jon Cake, with the best cheesecakes in town) and the renovated Mercat de Santa Caterina for morning shopping at one of its speciality stalls.

There are also plenty of museums to choose from: Museu de la Xocolata, Museu Moco (modern art), Centre Cultural del Born (excavation with the remains of the neighbourhood's history) or the famous Picasso Museum, for which we advise you to buy your tickets in advance.

And don't forget to stroll along the Passeig del Born or go up to the terraces of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar to contemplate the privileged views they offer of this dream city.

Everything is ready to welcome you. So is your apartment. So when are you coming?

METRO: JAUME I

House rules

Welcome to Barcelona! We are delighted to have you with us and hope you have an amazing time at our apartment. To make sure your trip goes smoothly, here are some basic ground rules that we kindly ask you to follow.

Please take the neighbours into consideration

We would appreciate it if you could keep any noise to a minimum after 10pm (so no parties or loud music, please) and to avoid letting doors slam shut or making too much noise when
entering and leaving the building. Your holiday is important to us, but so is the well-being of your neighbours, who still need to go about their everyday lives in peace and tranquility. Any guests who cause a disturbance by hosting a party or such like will be asked to leave the apartment immediately (no refund will be made in such circumstances). Please also be aware that you are not allowed to have more guests staying at the apartment than indicated in your reservation.


No smoking!

Smoking is not allowed in the apartment. If you have to smoke, please go outside.

Save energy

We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the apartment.

One last request

On your last day, please wash the dishes and take out the garbage. Thank you!
