It was a true pleasure staying at Helen's flat in Barcelona – not only is it located within walking distance to the beach (about ten minutes), it is also close to e.g. the Picasso museum, countless bars and restaurants, a small supermarket is nearby and generally, it's just a nice area of Barcelona to simply take a walk in. The flat itself is beautiful! The entire place is tastefully furnished and you feel very comfortable right away. Due to Helen travelling at the time of our visit, we had the place to ourselves, with a friend of Helen's kindly checking us in. When we arrived, we found that Helen had prepared a list of not only everything regarding the flat, but also with lots of useful tips on where to go and what to do (You HAVE GOT to try a bagel at Sweet Dreams, an adorable little place right next to the apartment).
All in all, we can only highly recommend Helen's flat – it's beautiful, comfy, in a great location and with a host that (even while being absent) is clearly passionate about helping people visit and get to know Barcelona. We would come back anytime!
