Elena's place was great. The location is perfect for walking and finding a restaurant and/or cafe. The location was also perfect for jumping on the metro (5 min walk away from apartment) and getting anywhere in the city. We loved going to the beach area, near the gothic quarter, which was only about 30 to 40 mins from apartment to beach. The apartment isn't huge but was perfect for our family. The beds/mattresses were a little hard, but not terrible. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at Elena's apartment and would recommend it to others :)
