Great apartment and location....about 20-25 mins from airport and 10 mins from the port if you are cruising, close to Las Ramblas and restaurants with convenience store just downstairs. Communication was with Alex, who responded in a very timely manner throughout the process. The hosts were accommodating when I forgot a backpack in the apartment which I had purchased in Barcelona for our cruise excursions. Pilar was very kind to meet us at an agreed location and time upon our return to Barcelona to pass off the backpack. The only negative was that the bedrooms were smaller than expected.
