Alela's place was in a perfect location in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. It was nice to have a new elevator available after a long flight and heavy suitcases! The new bathroom was great although it was small. The shower was amazing with lots of hot water & great water pressure! The bed was very comfortable along with our own air conditioning unit in the room to keep it cool. Akela was very attentive to details with toiletries and towels and facecloths. She explained everything in full to us and allowed us to leave our luggage for a couple of hours after checkout. It was very quiet and peaceful and suited our needs for a couple of nights before our cruise. It was a short walk down Las Ramblas to the shuttle bus to the ship pier.
