We loved Monica's place in El Born so much! It is incredibly conveniently located, with easy access to all the best sites and even easier access to great restaurants and bars. If you want to go farther, there are multiple metro stops within walking distance. Monica was very kind and welcoming to us. She even gave us great local advice about a bus to take from the airport to her home! She also had air conditioning which worked extremely well and saved our lives in Barcelona! We would be overjoyed to stay with her again :)
