About Carlos

My name is Carlos and I was born in Barcelona city where I have lived most of my life. In 1994 moved into the Old Town and a year later bought what I call in this advert apartment #1 where I had been living until I started renting it out. I love Barcelona and I specially love this neighbourhood, definetely the most charming in the city.

Carlos purchased this apartment in 1995
Why Carlos chose La Ribera El Borne

It is ideally located in the center of the historic Old Town, in a street that exists since the 14th century and it is in walking distance to most sights in the city and the area is stepped in history.

What makes this apartment unique

Being in a stone's throw from most sights and various underground stops, plus stepping into history tracing back to the Middle Ages. Equally, the highest concentration in town of restaurants is at your doorstep, the Born, as well as the main commercial centers and independent shops. Finally, but not least, the beach is in 12 minutes walk from the apartment

Barcelona is worldwide famous for its narrow streets and charming squares in the Gothic Quarter, the coast line with several city beaches, its Modernist architecture (a particular form of Art Nouveau that took place here), its cosmopolitan feel and its laid back life style.

The Old Town, where the apartment is located ( in local language Ciutat Vella) is where most tourist sites in the are located: Rambles, beach, Picasso Museum, Port..

The epitome of Barcelona living!

Review Submitted: 12 February 2012 Date of Stay: September 2011
My partner and I stayed at this apartment in Sep / Oct last year for a weekend, The process from booking right through to leaving was seamless. The apartment was exactly as described and Guillermo went above and beyond his duties in checking us in and providing priceless advice on what to see and do in Barcelona. The area itself was perfect for us in terms of proximity to restaurants / nightlife. We loved coming in after a tough day's sight-seeing and opening the balcony doors and chilling out with a bottle of rioja bought in the shop next door for 3 euro (which costs £10 at home).
We fell in love with Barcelona and this in a large way down to staying in this aparment and the service provided by both Guillermo and Carlos from start to finish.
Thanks again!

Review Submitted: 07 December 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We had a great time in Barcelona. Guillermo was great and very helpful in pointing out the places to go see and places to eat. The apartment was great, very well kept. Everything we needed was there and more. The apartment was also in a great location and easy to get to everywhere we needed to go. Also all the emails were very clear and informative about how to get to the apartment and everything we needed to know.

We will definitely recommend this to friends traveling to Barcelona and if we come back again we will definitely stay there again if possible.

Thanks for everything!

Review Submitted: 03 November 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
After exchanging Emails with Carlos we had a warm feeling: Our stay in Barcelona would be comfortable. Reality exceeded our expectations. Guillermo was waiting for us at the Arc de Triomf even though we were late for at least half an hour to meet him. He helped with luggage and bombarded us with very useful information on Barcelona, surrounding area, with practical advices. Apartment itself has state of the art kitchen, windows, doors etc. That’s besides the point that location is great, practically walking distance to all points of interest.

Carlos, thank you very much for warm hospitality.

Review Submitted: 20 October 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
We had a wonderful time in Barcelona and staying at this apartment. The entire process working with owners was very easy. Not only was the apartment perfect but the location was the best for being able to get anywhere on foot. We enjoyed the night life and activities available which your employee Guillermo was so kind to point out. Traveling with two teens it was nice to have so much going on in the area.

Guillermo is a gem. He helped us so very much with information and logistics of the area. Our stay was much improved due to his efforts on the owners behalf.

Thank you again for having such a clean, neat apartment for a reasonable price available. Your ad was truly accurate and we would use it again should we return to Barcelona in the future!
