Elena's apartment is situated very centrally and next to a lovely park. Trams and buses are just outside to take you anywhere in the city, and just a short walk away is the Arc de Triomph, then across the park is the beautiful old town. We also walked a few blocks to the seashore which is gorgeous, plus there are many restaurants. Look out for the cyclists as it's a growing feature in Barcelona!
The situation of the apartment was perfect for us and the apartment itself is just as the photo shows you, bright and welcoming with space to spread out and breathe. There isn't a tv but there is excellent internet if you want to watch something on your own device. Elena is an excellent host who helped us to get our bearings and showed us where to go for the best experience of Barcelona, as well as recommending some great restaurants. (Do try Artesans!) It's also possible to cook for yourself if you want to try some of the local produce. All in all we did well to find Elena's place :)
