We booked last minute but since the communication with the host was so easy (Naiara not only speaks English but also perfectly German) everything went just perfect and felt very uncomplicated. Her apartment is absolutely clean and cozy and due to the location in the heart of "Born" very centric as well. You can easily walk to all the nice places in the old town of Barcelona. You have the beautiful "Parc de la Ciutadella" right next door and also the beach can be reached within minutes by bus. (Line 39) We simply felt at home. Everything was provided and Naiara was always in touch with us when we needed anything. She also gave us a lot of insider tips to explore BCN. We would definitely recommend it to anybody and love to stay there again!
