El Balcon del Born reflects the charm and character of the el Born district of Barcelona and is exactly what we look for in accommodation while travelling.

We stayed with Pablo and Anna for four nights in April 2012. They were lovely hosts - very helpful with tips and ideas for what to see and where to eat. One of their restaurant recommendations was a local place that was 'the real thing' when it comes to eating spanish food. We loved it. The rooms are basic but... More

Anna came right away to find us and we really appreciated it as we had just been traveling for half a day! The accommodations are fantastic-our room... More
