Alba and Carlos (her partner) were wonderful hosts. Carlos greeted us in person on our (2 people) arrival and explained the usual things such as the wifi password, how to operate the stovetop and heating, and check out procedure.

Regarding the apartment, it was situated in a friendly and safe neighbourhood with lots of families and people walking their dogs. Opposite the apartment was a medium-sized market selling meat, seafood, fruit and vegetables and more. We ate breakfast at a small bakery about 50m away. The apartment itself was lovely and exactly as described by both the photographs and written description; it was clean and generally quiet, although we could hear the neighbours due to some potentially thin walls.

In terms of public transport, the apartment was only a few minutes or so away from Collblanc station (L5 line), which itself was only about 10 minutes or so away from the city centre. There was also a nearby bus service (that we did not use).

Regarding surrounding facilities, apart from the market, there was a nearby supermarket (near the petrol station) which had all the necessities. There were also restaurants, some of which were highly rated by TripAdvisor. Moreover, the famous Camp Nou stadium, home to FC Barcelona, was only a 10 minute walk away.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay in Alba's apartment. Its strengths include its overall cleanliness and convenience to public transport and other places of interest.
