This is a fantastic place! Elena is a great host! It was our first time in Barcelona, and Elena had great suggestions on what to see and where to go sightseeing. She was very flexible and understanding of the chaos that travelling with young children is. Elena was very welcoming and at the same time provided us with own space. The rooms are as described - two small (by Australian standards) bedrooms but the apartment got everything you need. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to several train stations, sights and many restaurants and cafes. The balcony overlooks a quaint square (which does get loud at night). The apartment is up a few flights of stairs with no lift.
