My fiancé and I stayed here for a week and we can't speak highly enough of Elena, the apartment, location and Barcelona in general. Our check-in was seamless (we were welcomed with fresh cheese, chocoloate and coffee) and then throughout the week Elena checked in proactively to see how our trip was going and what we needed help with. Additionally, the location was perfect!!! Easy access to anywhere in the city and surrounded by great restaurants and bars. However, it was far enough from the heart of downtown so that we were able to enjoy quiet nights. :-)
