Elena is the best host I have come across. She's extremenly personable and sweet as a person. She went out of her way to give us a hand written post card and a travel book on Barcelona when she came to know that we were on our anniversary vacation. She treated us like family and her breakfast options were elaborate (varities of breads, savories, spreads, fruits, juices, milk, variety of teas/coffess - all organic!).
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I am nearly certain that I will stay at her place on my next trip to Barcelona (hoping that it will be available). :)
