We're so happy that our first AirBnB booking was a success in many aspects. Alex and Gemma were both out of Barcelona the weekend we arrived but made sure we were welcomed in their home through Alex's sister Laia. We are also thankful that Alex and Gemma were very kind to arrange with Laia an earlier check-in for us ,as well as a very late check-out. The apartment is as it is in the photos they posted, and 'bright' is just one of the many adjectives to describe it. I want add 'homey', comfortable, very 'tourist-friendly' as well and overall, just wonderful. We ate in the places recommended by the couple in a folder that is even more thorough with recommendations than the guide book I brought. I guess this more than sums up our stay at Gemma and Alex's bright, and wonderful apartment in the vicinity of the Sagrada Familia.
