My boyfriend and I stayed with Lorena for one week and absolutely loved our time there. Lorena is a dream host with recommendations suited to your interests and plenty of information on hand for ideas. She's considerate and helpful. The apartment itself is amazing-very comfortable, clean, and full of anything you could need. The location is fantastic too. El Born felt less touristy and less expensive, while being right in the heart of Barcelona life. It's good for restaurants and bars, the metro, the beach, and sightseeing all within our reasonable, young traveler budget. I highly recommend staying here! Can't be beat.
