My friends and I spent a wonderful night at Eleonora's place - she has such a beautiful apartment in a great location. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Eleonora herself but she organised for her friend to let us in and show us around. She was very accommodating and let us leave our bags in her other apartment so we could check out late. Her apartment has an amazing terrace and Gracia is a fantastic area with lots of great little bars and restaurants - I would really recommend Eleonora's place if you're staying in Barcelona!
