We had a wonderful Christmas in Barcelona staying at Alex's apartment. His extensive recommendations of restaurants and sites were a great addition to our daily plans. We are young and love to walk, and walked to all the key sites from the apartment, using the metro only to get to and from the airport. The neighborhood is fantastic and has so many bars and restaurants for late-night visits. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, with a kitchen well-stocked for our home-cooked Christmas Eve dinner. We'd recommend this apartment.
