Stayed at Elsa's apartment with four other friends on Nov. 6-9, 2014.

The host: Elsa was accommodating and tried to reply to queries as promptly as possible. She was not present upon arrival, but someone else (Norma), was around to greet and show us the apartment.

The location: The apartment is convenient, close to the Metro (La Sagrada stop), and yes, to La Sagrada Familia. A good number of tapas bars, breakfast places and grocery stores is also nearby.

The apartment: There is a small elevator to accommodate luggage, as the room is on the 2nd floor. The place is enough for us 5 persons, with 3 bedrooms. However, the bathroom is tiny. Also, the power tripped a couple of times on our first day while we were doing laundry, and we had to reset it.

Other than that, we had a good, comfortable stay, and Elsa arranged airport drop-off for us.

Thank you for the accommodation, Elsa. We had a good time in Barcelona.
