Al's apartment is very cosy and stylish. It lies in a fussy region of Barcelona - 10 Minutes walking to La Rambla, but you won't hear anything of the street as soon as you're inside. There'll be plenty of space for your things in the room, and the bed is very comfortable. We didn't have any issues whatsoever with Al or his friend Uri who's taking care of the apartment, on the contrary, they were just perfect hosts, even allowing us to come earlier and leave later because we had very weird flight times. All in all, we were lucky to go to Barcelona for the first time and get to discover the city from this location. I'm sure we'll be knocking on Al's and Uri's door again someday! :-)
