We loved staying at Alex's apartment in Barcelona! It is exactly as described and looks like in the photos. Located in a great part of town just outside city center so you feel like you are living around locals but close enough to get into La Rambla and the major tourist sites in a couple minutes by subway. Also, Alex was excellent and oriented us when we arrived, shared his treasure trove of guidebooks including one he wrote specifically for his guests, and recommended great places for food and drink and people watching. Altogether a great experience and we would stay in the flat again in a heartbeat!
