Elena's apartment is in an ideal location for Barcelona: in the center but on a cute pedestrian street, so no traffic noises and chaos of big cities. The apartment is clean and well furnished. Elena received us at 7pm, an hour later than agreed upon, without any complaints. Everything was in place, including two chilled beers and bowls of potato chips and candies. Very thoughtful! The apartment is in regular use but it still felt very freshly prepared for us, hats off to Elena for achieving this for every single guest! In fact, as a result, it's better stocked than most airbnb apartments. She was very generous to leave even a 2008 vintage Crianza but unsure whether it was an oversight, we didn't touch it :-)
Very easy walking to the diagonal street and metro, safe neighborhood, beautiful, lots of nice restaurants around of all price points. A stay in Barcelona couldn't be better and better value for money than this! Much as gracias Elena.
