Alex's apartment was absolutely wonderful for my wife and I as we became lovers of Barcelona. Alex is very gracious and his apartment is very modern and especially clean. It has a well equipped kitchen with appliances, pots, pans, utensils, etc. The beds are very high quality and comfortable. From the apartment location it is easy to walk to much of the sights in the various historical as well as trendy Barcelona quarters. We stayed there for 3 weeks and got to know some of the bus routes to parts of Barcelona further out from the central city. There are bus stops a half a block away from Alex's apartment, providing sight seeing from the comfort of the bus. We are ready to go back!
