Alberto’s apartment is an absolute oasis in the middle of Barcelona! The beds were high quality, the showers great and the bedrooms really quiet. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. The terraces are fabulous - we ate breakfast every morning on one and took in panoramic views of the city, all the way to the ocean, from the other. The entire apartment was classy, tasteful and spotless. When booking, I was torn between El Born/the Gothic District versus somewhere in a local neighborhood away from the tourist areas. I am so incredibly pleased that I chose this apartment. After experiencing the teeming masses of people in those tourist areas, I was so pleased to be able to hop on the subway for a quick ride to our gorgeous, quiet and peaceful apartment in a real neighborhood. There is a great coffee shop on the corner where we went every morning and two subways are a block away. As a side note, I’m a New Yorker, and was very impressed with the clean, bright and punctual subways. Thank you Alberto for a great stay!
