Literally the perfect setting in Barcelona within 30 metres of the Santa Maria Del Mar in the gorgeous Gothic area of El Born, this apartment building offers the ideal base to explore El Born and The Ramblas without using the metro. The rooms are old, with original timber beams but clean and certainly large enough with modern bathrooms and a... More

The apartments are in an old building on a narrow street 1min from Santa Maria del Mar. The church bells don't ring at night and we slept really well. As the streets are narrow you don't get sun shining in but the area has lots of atmosphere. Being in the old part of town the town drains have the occasional... More

Had a fantastic few days in Barcelona with my best friend, would be very happy to go back and stay there again. Apartment had lots of character and air conditioning. Great value for money and very friendly hosts.

We knew it was not a large apartment but it was adequate and we were pleased it was quiet at night. The wifi, although not working on arrival, was... More

It didn't take long to feel at home within... More

If you have read Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones and/or The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafrón, this i the perfect place to stay.

It took us a little while to find the apartment after being dropped off at the end of the road by the taxi. Once we found it, we were welcomed by the staff on duty. He was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed about tourist information, what's on, transport to the airport etc. There was a... More

Having read the other reviews of Arkupe on Trip Advisor we booked with our eyes open so to speak, but after spending three nights there I would struggle to find any realistic points of complaint! The apartment was what you might call 'compact' but it was clean, tidy, cheap, big enough for me and three other lads and the staff... More
