Communication with Alex was excellent. After our booking was confirmed, he sent us a message containing information on how to get from the airport to his apartment. To save money without sacrificing too much comfort, we decided to take a train to the city centre, and then a cab to the apartment. When deciding on how to get to the apartment, please bear in mind that it is located on a hill. Alex was flexible in adjusting the check-in time according to our arrival. The apartment was spotless and the arrangement of furniture was practical. After our arrival, Alex gave us some useful information about the city and the various things it has to offer. Being keen on trying some good local food, we especially appreciated the tips on places to eat. The dishes we tried in the restaurants recommended by Alex were excellent. My girlfriend and I had a great time in Barcelona, and I cannot recommend Alex and his apartment highly enough.
