If you are thinking about going to Barcelona, staying with Elena would be the best decision you can make. First, she is an amazing host that really cares about how you are doing and if there's anything she can do to make your stay better. She also shared a very detailed guide to Barcelona which was helpful throughout my 6-week stay. Next, the place itself is excellent. It's spacious, clean, has lots of natural light, a comfortable bed, a nice bathroom, a full kitchen, etc. It was really the perfect place for me and would be for a couple as well. Lastly, the location is key too. The park across the street was great for getting sunshine and taking a walk. The beach is a few blocks down. El Born and the Gothic Quarter are within walking distance. So many good restaurants in the city. Highly recommend and I hope to return in the future.
