Alba's place is a fantastic, clean, comfortable and a perfect location to explore this wonderful city. We stayed here with our 2 boys in their late teens and all thoroughly enjoyed it. The high point of the City is literally on the doorstep and you can see it from the window, but make sure you book your visit to La Sagrada Familia in advance and book a guide, you need to book in advance for many of the attractions. Eat locally at Los Bellota. The Apartment is very quiet for a city location and seemed to be safe, everyone we encountered was very friendly despite all the media reports recently. The stairs up to the flat are a little steep and narrow so maybe small children and people with any mobility issues might find it difficult. Air con is fantastic and easily cools the whole flat very quietly. Alba and her assistant Diana were very helpful and their communication was fantastic. All the transport you need is a short walk away and breakfast is in the street below. Great value. Go enjoy!
