Our stay in Alex's apartment in the heart of Barcelona was exceptional. Alex was very prompt with communication before we arrived in Barcelona and greeted us at the apartment on the morning of our arrival. He was wonderful in sharing great places to eat, mapping out suggested areas to visit and was a wealth of information for our few days in this beautiful city.

The fact that the apartment is wifi and free made life so much easier for us. I will call Alex a genius as he was able to rig a way for our electric converter to work in his apartment as his outlets were not conducive to our converter. I was a little worried about that since I had my own curling iron, ipad and iphone that all needed electricity. We left for the day and when we returned, Alex had managed to be creative enough to allow our converter to work in his electrical outlets. Bravo Alex!!!

The apartment was fully stocked with everything anyone could need. The kitchen was supplied with every type of pot, pan, dishes, glasses. . .you name it, it was there. If you would choose to cook any type of meal, everything was available. The apartment was clean and worked out perfectly for the 3 of us. It would easily sleep 6 people if need be with a pull out in the living area. The beds were comfortable, linens clean, and he supplied each of us with our own towel sets for washing.

The apartment is close to one of the most popular areas of Barcelona, Passieg de Gracia. . .amazing shops, restaurants, bakeries, transportation. The apartment is set off of a main street and in a residential area so there was a little bit of noise occasionally, but nothing that was out of the ordinary for a neighborhood with residents.

I would highly recommend Alex's apartment. It has everything to make a vacation, whether long or short very comfortable. Thank you Alex for making our stay in Barcelona so wonderful.
