If you want to be somewhere that’s lively and hip, Luca’s place is right in the center of El Born! I highly recommend it if you like the real city vibe. His place is great and you’ll wake up in the morning with pastries ready for you (very thoughtful of you, sir!). The metro station “Jaume I” is about 3 min walk that will connect you anywhere in Barcelona. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance as well. Luca is a great host and I had a great time staying at his place. Gracias, sir!
