Alfred’s place was lovely. We were able to cook full breakfasts in the morning and enjoy them on the balcony. There is an elevator in the building, which helped a lot with luggage. The apartment was super clean and comfortable, with a large shower. Marcos, who handled check in, sent us lists of restaurants and other potential necessities ahead of time. The only drawback is that the apartment is not located in the center of Barcelona’s city life and therefore impacted our initial impression of the city’s architecture. So be sure to get into the city center to see Barcelona’s iconic architectural style. And it is near the beach and Port Olympic and a short metro ride or taxi will get you into the city center.
