Alex’s place is everything how it is shown. The host is extremely responsive to any questions you may have. The location is centrally located to explore every part of Barcelona on foot, without the need to take a bus or metro. Most sights were about a 15 - 20 minute walk away. It is clean and spacious with every amenity you may need if you wish to prepare a meal or snack. I am a very light sleeper and sensitive to noise. While I would not consider the neighborhood to be remote or very quiet, the two pane glass windows reduced the sound of most noise to allow a very very good sleep. The air conditioner worked perfectly and there are air vents in all the rooms for a wonderful nights’ sleep. I am quite particular, especially when it comes to noise, cleanliness and proper air circulation, and without any reservation I highly recommend Alex’s place if you want a safe and well located apartment in Barcelona.
