Upon booking, we were given detailed instructions from Albert on how to find his apartment. The check in process was very simple. We did not actually meet Albert on the day we arrived, but his cousin happily greeted us at the door and showed us around. The apartment was very stylish, clean, and in a great location near many nice restaurants and bars. It is only about a 5-7 min walk to Sagrada Familia and the metro station. There is a book in the apartment with maps of Barcelona and lists of things to do/see as well as popular restaurants. This was very helpful during our stay. We definitely recommend Albert's place!
