We loved our stay. The apartment was clean and bright with everything we needed. Alex gave us some good local tips for eating, transit and shopping and guidance on how to get to several of the best sights and attractions. The apartment was perfect for our needs, only a couple of minute walk for groceries and necessities, 20 minutes walk from La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell and only a 7-10 minute walk to the Metro that connects to all the transit we needed to get anywhere else. One note if you have any difficulty walking: the walk to and from the Metro is a steep hill for almost 1 km, however there is a small bus that runs up and down it that we never used.
