You'll be in the center of the life of the city, in a comfortable space, with a wonderful healthy and hearty breakfast to enjoy before you immerse yourself in the beauties of Barcelona. Alejandra's place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, and very close to both the main city government buildings as well as the old cathedral, surrounded by history but with easy access to the modern day. You will become more fit as you climb the stairs (43) ;-). I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. This was *wonderful*.
