Helen is a bubbly and charming host who made me feel welcome in her clean and tidy apartment. The bedroom is spacious and you have a door on to the shared balcony. The apartment is on the fourth floor and there is no elevator which definitely keeps you fit! There is plenty of natural light and the windows are fully shuttered if you need to keep out the morning sun after touring Barcelona's Barrios in the early hours as Helen and I did on several occasions.
