The heart and soul of the area is the wide open, tree-lined Passeig del Born, the centre of Barcelona in medieval times where jousts and other events where held once upon a time. Montcada was the street where nobles lived in their stately palaces. Today one of these palaces houses the world class Picasso Museum with an extensive and varied collection of the artists many stages of work. The Textile Museum is across the street and is a good representation of one of Barcelona’s most important trades. For an outstanding lunch including 2 courses, wine, bread and fabulous desserts at a rock bottom price, head to the nearby Little Italy, which serves up Mediterranean cuisine (and rarely pasta dishes). Las Ramblas, the city centre and Barcelona's beaches are also just a few minutes' walk away. The apartments sleep up to 4 people, with 2 twin beds and 1 double sofa bed. They have a fully equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom and a comfortable living room. They are located in 18th century building and have been completely refurbished in 2004.

These lovely apartments in the Born are simply the happening place to be. Important: REFUNDABLE 200 euros security deposit for this apartment.
