El Born or Barceloneta?

I am planning to rent an appt. I cant decide between El Born or Barceloneta. I heared somewhere that the barceloneta area can get seedy at night. Is that true? Only one person said that and Im not sure if it is so. I am concerned about walking home at night with teenagers.

I couldn't find anything I wanted to stay at in Baceloneta, maybe you will have better luck. We ended up in Hostel Campi, a couple blocks east of Placa Calatlunya. I thought it was a good option. About half the rooms have en suite bathrooms, ours didn't. If it's important to you, make sure you look at what type of room they have available. Check out tripadvisor.com for suggestions, use their map feature to find places in your target areas.
