Our stay in El Born was busy and the location ideal. Maria and the location are why you would choose to stay here. Maria's friendless and attention to providing good tourism information makes you stay enjoyable and ensures you avoid queues. We stayed in the smallest room as the balcony rooms were booked but can recommend the balconies overlooking the old streets to soak in the atmosphere. El Born is an ideal area to base yourself as you meander around the old town and explore the city. Thanks Maria!
