The apartment is immaculate, spacious, and has everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet, away from the tourist madness, but close enough you can quickly walk there. Eixample has some great restaurants as well if you don't feel like battling crowds. The bus to/from the airport is just blocks away and extremely convenient and fast. Alex is more than just a host, he is s concerned concierge who will go out of his way to make your stay special. We had a great experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend this place!
