Alex was terrific. We had everything arranged for our stay and contacted him when we arrived in Barcelona, timing our arrival for the 3:00 check in. Alex met us right on time and helped us with our luggage. He showed us around the apartment and has a booklet with a comprehensive guide to the apartment, area, nearby restaurants and ideas for touring the city. The apartment was immaculate with every amenity--fully equipped kitchen, espresso maker, clothes washer/dryer, folding clothes dryer, hair dryer, beach towels and beach umbrella, rain umbrella. The beds were very comfortable with non-allergic pillows. The furniture is tasteful and comfortable. Fresh flowers were on the dining table. We loved coming "home" after spending the day sightseeing. Neighborhood is great with a short walk to 2 metro stations, wonderful restaurants and shops. We would DEFINITELY return to this place when we travel back to Barcelona!!
