We stayed at Gemma & Alex's apartment for 9 days. In a nutshell, the experience was that of living like locals in one of Barcelona's most traditional neighborhoods. The apartment felt like home--in fact there was a day we just stayed in to rest and enjoy the delicious food we bought at one of the nearby grocery stores. The apartment is as described, it's got lots of light and it's very comfortable. Gemma and Alex have done a great job at making it easy for their guests to settle in once they arrive. Alex greeted us when we arrived from London and he gave us a briefing of the neighborhood and the city using a wonderfully crafted guide he wrote for us. There was one day we needed an extra sheets and towels and Alex was nice enough to drive up to the apartment with a fresh set. We definitely recommend Gemma & Alex's place and we will book it again on our next trip to Barcelona.
