Francisco and Sandra were the perfect hosts. Their apartment is charming, and is located centrally in El Born. Our family loved the neighborhood, and the easy access we had to everything else Barcelona had to offer. Both Francisco and Sandra are incredibly personable. They were engaging when we wanted, and also let us have the space we needed for our family. Our three kids loved spending time with them. Both Sandra and Francisco were completely accurate in their suggestions for things to do, and places to eat. Our last evening with them was spent eating the amazing food that they prepared. (They regularly host a cooking experience through air b&b.) I am trained as a chef, and both my girlfriend and I have worked in restaurants for many years. Their food was as good as any restaurant we ate in. Francisco is also a very talented guitar player. Listening to him play transported us to another place. I would highly recommend staying with Francisco and Sandra, no hesitation.
