Although the place should have been extremely easy to find, we had problems with our phone and the car's GPS, Alexei waited in the cold until we arrived. His apartment is compact, but very clean and comfortable, and is very close to the Consum supermarket, a Chinese restaurant and a well-stocked Chinese supermarket. Also an FKK naturist beach is within walking distance but it's better to come in the summer to enjoy it. From Lloret de Mar you can get to Blanes and Tossa de Mar easily. I would have liked to have been able to practise my Russian with him, but his English is adequate and he is fluent in Spanish. My friend and I enjoyed our 2-night stay in Alexei's flat and look forward to coming again when the weather is warmer and that beach is more inviting!
