We've been happily using Air bnb for several years now in many different countries & cities and I don't hesitate to say that Alex is the best host we've had and this apt is also one of the best we've stayed in. The location is perfect for exploring the wonderful city of Barcelona. We could walk to almost everything and when we got tired the metro was only a few blocks away. The apartment is in a beautiful building that is close to shopping & restaurants. It is beautifully decorated with a modern, well appointed kitchen & great bathroom. Alex has thought of everything to make sure you have what you need- hair dryer, iron, washer/dryer, water & other drinks when you arrive, first aid supplies, guide books, a list of his favorite restaurants (which were fantastic), and even fresh flowers! The beds are super comfortable, the apt was impeccably clean. Alex spent a lot of time showing us around the apartment and answering our questions about Barcelona, he even emailed us after a few days to make sure we were happy with everything.
