Elena's place is BEAUTIFUL. It's a very neat and clean apartment with a very pleasant atmosphere. My husband and I had the feeling of being in a Spa. Her gorgeous plants make her place look fresh, welcoming, and natural. It smells like fresh lavender. Elena was so welcoming.... she offered a wealth of knowledge about Barcelona. Elena went above and beyond our expectations. If you come to Barcelona, then staying at Elena's is a must!!! She is an amazing hostess. :)
