What a fabulous apartment in a fantastic location. Alex was very welcoming and efficient both before and during our stay. He made himself available to answer questions and help with any of our needs during our stay, but we are fairly private and self sufficient, which he respected and so just 'let us be'. The bedroom is large and beds are comfortable and, despite the central location, it's amazingly quiet. We didn't sleep on the bunks, but they are substantial comfortable beds. We barely used public transport, but the underground and mainline station and buses are all very close. There's a small supermarket within a 2 minute walk and lots of nice cafes and restaurants. The local Santa Gula restaurant was special. We also liked Café Godot. Also Ciudat Comdal is well worth a visit (register at the booking in desk and the queue moves quickly). Two of the main Gaudi houses (Casa Mila and Casa Batllo) are within a 5 minute walk. Thanks to Alex and Mark for hosting our visit. We had a fantastic week xxx
