What are the best areas to live?

gringogirlie72 · 16-07-2008, 00:06

So its soon going to be time to take some serious decisions around here.. Hi hi hi... I was checking out Barcelona flats recently but have to be honest, I have no idea whats good and whats not... If I'm looking for a safe place to live, where's best? I'm guessing the Raval is not so safe, but what about El Borne, its so trendy... Or should I look more uptown?

I personally prefer uptown, it is cleaner, nicer and generally speaking more residential. Raval, Borne and Gothic are all very highly focused on tourists. Getting a good nights sleep may be easier uptown

Oh and also walking home at night is surely safer on perhaps calle Aribau as opposed to calle Hospital...
