We had a lovely stay in El Born. The area is awesome and has great restaurants and bars. Easy access to transit. Lively area. A note to light sleepers, bring earplugs as you can hear the crowds outside at night, especially on the weekend. The laundry was easy to use, as was the dryer. We did meet our neighbours in the other room in the kitchen, they were great to chat with. The space felt very private. There is a supermarket very close by, and the kitchen was well equipped. Maria Teresa was wonderful, a great host. Highly recommended!
