My brother and I stayed with Alejandra and her lovely family for 4 nights in February. We had a very smooth check-in and check-out. Alejandra and her husband were always very responsive and helped us a lot in the process. The location of the flat was amazingly central. All the major touristy districts and the beach are within 10-15 mins walking distance. My brother and I explored most parts of the city by foot, thanks to the amazing location of the flat. The only downside was we could hear noise from the streets almost after 10 o'clock every night (We didn't stay on the weekend) but it didn't bother our sleep much as the noise wind down shortly after midnight. but make sure you bring a ear plug or two just in case. In addition, the building itself is about 150 years old. It was truly a unique experience to stay in such an old building. Even though it was an old building, Alejandra and her husband took a very good care of their living space. The space was clean, well organized and lovely decorated; beds were very comfortable. And we had access to a large space and had a bathroom to ourselves. Two issues were the flat doesn't have a central heating system or a room heater. We had a portable heater to use but we found it was still a bit cold in the room even when the heater was on for February winter temperature. Bring a sleeve or hoodie with you for sleeping if you plan for a winter month travel! Also, my brother and I have many electronic products to charge (camera x2, cell phone x2, iPad x2) and plus the heater, we found we didn't have enough outlets.
Alejandra provided us great breakfast every morning and Nespresso cafe was free of charge! She laid out everything on the table for us to help ourselves, including toast, cheese and butter, selection of jam, cereal, dairy and non-dairy milk. It wasn't a fancy hearty breakfast but a fairly simple yet heartwarming one. It was one of the best bed&breakfast experiences I've ever had. Overall, my brother and I had a great stay with Alejandra and her lovely family. We would highly recommend it to our friends and would love to return it in the future if we ever visited Barcelona again.
