Can't say enough wonderful things about Elena and the apartment. From the start her communication always prompt and welcoming. She goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The apartment is as beautiful as in the photos and the place was neat, clean and spa like. She stocks the room well with anything you could possibly need including band aids! There are a lot of little nice touches like a welcome bottle of wine, aromatics everywhere, water pitcher & chocolates in the room. The apartment is well situated to walking to the old town and beaches in particular. It is well located to public transportation though we did not use it much.
Elena provides lots of travel tips and wrote a nice guide that we used extensively. Every restaurant we tried on her list was great. It was nice to have a locals perspective as there are many touristy choices to avoid. She was very kind to spend some time with us to plan our days.
In short, would highly recommend her and the apartment. We would definitely use this place again should we return to Barcelona.
