We stayed in Elena's flat after a ten-day beach vacation in the south. Elena was a perfect host, waited for us with refreshments and snacks. She provided us with all the necessary information in the neighborhood and everything in the flat was exactly as promised on the website.
The flat is quite and nicely set, it is 20 min walk to Placa de Catalunya and La Rambla, or 2 metro stops. The neighborhood - Gracia - is extremely nice. On the same street there is a non-stop shop for emergencies, and about 10-min walk one can find Mercadona supermarket.
We highly recommend Elena and her flat to anyone who wants to feel like a local in Barcelona. We will definitely be back!
