Maria is really nice and very welcoming. She has good tips if you're new to Barcelona. You share the apartment with other travellers so you don't have to worry about being in someone's space. The appartment itsself is quite old and not really luxureous. The rooms are a bit small, but that's very common for this area. And perfect for a city trip because you're probably not gonna sit in your room all day. El born is a great neigbourhood to stay in when visting Barcelona. It's close to the city center, to the parc de la ciutadella, to the beach and there are a lot of cute restaurants and bars around the corner.
