We enjoyed our time in Barcelona, and staying at Alejandra’s charming and eclectic home made it so easy to access sights and public transport within minutes (a stone’s throw from Jaume 1 metro, yellow line). Alejandra was prompt in replying to our messages and even continued to do so while she was away on holiday! Her friend Ada greeted us when we first arrived and oriented us to the apt and neighbourhood - do note especially if you’re towing luggage, that the apt is on the first floor, and you’ll need to climb up two flights of narrow stairs. Alejandra provided all the amenities, and also breakfast/coffee/tea supplies - this was really helpful for a 4-5 day stay. While the apt is above a craft beer pub, the noise dies down around midnight to 1am, and was not a problem for us as we were exhausted after long days of exploring the city. Overall, our stay was wonderful and it was a pleasure to meet Alejandra and her family when they returned from their holiday on our final night!
