We spent 4 beautiful days in Helen's apartment. The room was small but cozy with a French balcony. We also enjoyed the big bathroom en suite. You could sometimes hear the neighbours talking due to the thin walls of this old building, but it didn't bother us a lot.
The location of the flat Is just perfect if you want to explore the habour, the beach, the old city and the ramblas.
You can find a lot of tiny restaurants, bars and shops just around the corner.
You can also reach a metro station in a few minutes.
Although Helen wasn't there herself we were welcomed with a nice card, information about the flat and sights and also fresh towles.
We only meet Helen on the day we left but she seemed quite friendly, open and helpful.
All in all a great trip.
We will come back ;)
