Elena was an incredible host and I would recommend her to anyone. She was so warm and welcoming with a lovely home, I believe she is the exact type of host Airbnb had in mind when they created this service. She gave us a map of Barcelona with suggestions for sight seeing, restaurants, and anything else we wanted, then sent me a list of her suggestions broken down by neighborhood! We used as many as we could in three days and every single one was great. I was initially hesitant to stay in a home where someone lived but now I can't imagine doing it any other way, she gave us our privacy and our own space but was there if we needed her and even made us coffee and breakfast on our last morning! I cannot say enough good things about her and her home, if I return to Barcelona I am definitely staying here again!!
