Alex, Javi, and Pilar are the absolute perfect hosts. We arrived to the apartment with a fridge full of snacks and drinks and were given perfect instructions on where and where not to go in Barcelona. The apartment itself is incredible: three bedrooms right near a grocery store and a short walking distance to some of the best places to eat in Barcelona. We made the mistake one night of going to the tourist restaurants near La Rambla. Don't. It's a less than 10 minute walk from this apartment to the place where the locals go for food. Go there instead. It's significantly cheaper and way better than anything else we had. Next time we're in Barcelona, we're staying here again.
