Elena was a fantastic host. Great hospitality. Her place suited our needs perfectly. She was attentive and checked in via email to make sure everything was ok. She answered emails quickly and even made us a Catalan specialty upon arrival. There were 3 heaters in the apartment. But once we found the source of the cold air, a missing pane of glass in the kitchen, we taped up some cardboard and the apartment was very comfortable. The location was close to the bus route and many fine food places. Unfortunately the coffee shop she recommended (Brunaqui) wasn’t open until the day we had to leave for another destination . That just means we will have to visit again. :)
The apartment wasn’t presumptuous or anything fancy, just a well lived in place where you could relax.
