We were two couples in Barcelona and loved our stay in the Gothic neighborhood. The location of the apartment could not be better. It is strategically located between two Metro stops, close to bars and restaurants and there is a bus stop directly in front of the apartment. Alex and his sister Rebecca who manage the apartment were both quick to respond to requests and questions. Alex was waiting for us even though our flight arrived 30 minutes early.. Alex spent part of his Friday evening making sure that our television was able to stream properly. He also walked us to his pick for a local bar and tapas. It was great. We went back a couple of times during our stay. The apartment itself is well laid out with one bedroom and en-suite downstairs and one bedroom upstairs with its bathroom located downstairs. The apartment had been clearly cleaned before our arrival as I am sure it is done between renters. There was, however, a smell of long-time dust after we were in the apartment several hours. Perhaps it needs a generally dusting of ceiling, walls, drapes, etc in the near future. It is, of course, an old historic building so some of this is to be expected. We left a list of suggested minor repairs for Alex. Otherwise, it was a great experience and we would definitely return.
