Alex’s place is in a really great location, right next to the Parc de la Ciutadella, about 10 minutes walk from the Gothic Quarter and about the same from the beach. The neighborhood was also safe. The flat was nice and equipped with everything necessary for the stay. We had a minor issue with the keys on our arrival but in the Alex sorted it out and we even experienced a Spanish party on our first day:) I would really recommend this place to anyone if you want to visit Barcelona.
