This was a wonderful experience! The apartment is about a 3 minute walk from the metro. There is a small market and a delightful coffee shop directly adjacent to the front door. Alex met us in person.He was very gracious and accomodating. He explained the location of many things, provided us with maps and answered any questions that we had. He also checked in with us several times during our 5 day stay. The apartment is well stocked with dinner and cookware, toiletries, etc. The wifi is fast and reliable and there is air conditioning. The building is very secure and it is a very nice, safe neighborhood. There are many nice restaurants and shops nearby and it is only about a 5 minute walk to Sagrada Familia. I highly recommend Alex's place and we will definitely stay again!
