Carolina's apartment in El Born was a great place for my quick solo trip to Barcelona. Very cool neighborhood with tons of bars & restaurants right outside, but not noisy in the apartment.
The apartment had the charm of being in an old building/neighborhood, but felt modern & comfortable. Stairs could be a bit difficult with a lot of luggage or for less mobile travelers. Bed was comfortable. Lots of espresso & biscuits in the kitchen.
Carolina was great, very helpful & responsive to a variety of questions. Would stay here again.
