Our stay in the Seduction in the Heart of Eixample was fantastic, and our host couldn’t have been better. The apartment had everything we needed. It was incredibly clean and comfortable in every way. It’s modern details, design, and functionality were a welcome treat after a long day of sightseeing. Its central location is perfect for those who like to discover Barcelona on foot. We walked everywhere our first week there, the Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gràcia, Guell Park, Plaça Catalunya-Las Ramblas. And if the Metro is your thing, the underground is just a couple of blocks away. Everything a city has to offer is right at your doorstep; i.e. grocery store, pharmacy, cleaners, restaurants and pubs. And if the Barcelona nightlife takes you to parts unknown, it’s an inexpensive taxi ride back to Eixample.
And Alex was great. After “checking us into” the apartment, he gave us an incredible amount of information about Barcelona. His recommendations on nearby restaurants were right on the money! It was one great meal after another. As foreigners visiting Barcelona for the first time, we were extremely fortunate to have Alex as our host -- he had maps, guide books and fact sheets all ready for our holiday stay. He even had information for us about local smartphone rentals.
Alex checked in on us after our first day to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. When we ran into trouble confirming our transportation back to the airport, Alex was kind enough to make the arrangements for us. He even made it a point to be there for our departure to make sure we were safely on our way. He really made us feel welcome.
Seduction in the Heart of Eixample and Alex: A great apartment plus a wonderful host equal a fantastic holiday!
