I had the pleasure of staying at Elena's place for a full month. Everything was AMAZING! First, you won't find a better location. There are 2 metro stops at either end of the street, the popular Rambla is one street over to the left followed by Passeig de Gracia, and then Avenida Diagonal is two blocks up from the house in the other direction. You can literally walk everyone from the house, or if you want to take a cab, there's a taxi cab at the end of the street. The house itself was everything I wanted and needed it to be and more. So clean, spacious and comfortable. Elena was helpful and so attentive and communicative before I even arrived and then throughout my stay. There was never anything that she wasn't able to help with (not that I needed much of anything). I loved this place and would not only recommend it, but definitely plan on staying here again when I return.
