We had a great experience staying in Alberto’s apartment! The apartment was modern and very clean. The actual room was cozy, sunny, and comfortable. Even though the apartment was shared with other guests, we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. Although we didn’t cook during our stay, the kitchen had everything one could need. The bathroom had most toiletries, a hair dryer, and an excellent shower. We also appreciated being able to use the washing machine.
The location was perfect for our vacation. The apartment is only a couple of blocks away from a metro station and about 10 minutes from the Sagrada Família. We found it very easy to get to and from everything we wanted in the city while still getting to experience a quieter neighborhood.
Alberto is an amazing host. He was extremely responsive to messages, made sure things were going well, and was very friendly. We also appreciated the little things he did that go above and beyond what a typical Airbnb host does. He provided us with breakfast food, two cans of local beer, and umbrellas to use. He was also generous enough to accommodate us for an early check in. He arranged for his mother to meet us at the apartment in the morning and she was so kind as she explained everything we needed to know, including how to operate the very old elevator. Overall, the apartment and hospitality exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend staying with Alberto.
