Albert's place was clean, modern and cool. Yes the AC was important and worked well. It was a great location, with easy metro, restaurants and markets. We loved looking up at the Sagrada Familia every time we got out of the metro - stunning. Albert was quick to communicate and address any issue. Check in and check out was smooth. Although it is a small place it is well laid out and fine for 4, we were gone much of the day. Did not hear any street noise and it was a nice neighborhood. Barcelona is an amazing city and I would book this apartment again.
