My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alex' apartment. It's truly a very nice place. Comfortable, clean, new and fully equipped with everything you need after a long day of taking in the sites of the city. We loved having our morning coffee on the balcony while enjoying the amazing view of the city and ocean. A perfect way to start the day. The apartment is located in a very quiet residential area where you truly get a sense of the authentic everyday life in Barcelona. Some might find the apartment a bit too far from the city's main attractions, restaurants and nightlife but for us it was a nice retreat. Plus the amazing Park Güell is practically a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Alex was a great host and very helpful. He has even put together a guide book with information on sites, restaurant tips and transportation that was of great use to us. All in all we had a very pleasurable stay. Highly recommended.
