Alex was a great host. He warmly welcomed us despite a delayed flight and then took time to run through some of the sights of Barcelona. He had a vast amount of tourist information in the flat and was able to give us good recommendations for restaurants. The apartment is in a super location with a view across the city to the sea. The area is full of local shops and we loved buying fresh from them rather than a large supermarket. Alex was always prompt in responding and very helpful with any questions we had - we really enjoyed our trip to Barcelona and the apartment was just perfect for the family.
