I had an excellent stay at the Suite El Born and would highly recommend it to others. Ilia was away, but his mother, Teresa, was my host, and she provided a welcoming home for my two weeks in Barcelona. The apartment was very clean, and in an excellent location for sightseeing, and enjoying all that Barcelona has to offer. Plenty of great restaurants nearby, and loved the vibe in the neighborhood. The suite provided the room I needed to work remotely, and it was good setup, with desk and good internet connection. It is in a bustling area, with late night bars, so if you are light sleeper, that would be the only concern. In October, since it was cooler, I was able to close the doors to keep the noise down. Thanks again to Teresa for making my stay so great!
