My girlfriend and I visited Barcelona for a long weekend break and we had a brilliant time! We can say that this was mainly due to the advice and kindness of Alba and her boyfriend during our stay.
Alba's apartment is excellently situated in a beautiful neighbourhood in which we felt very safe at all times. The bedroom was perfectly clean and the rest of the apartment was also very well looked after. The old-style elevator that services her building is charming too!
As soon as we had dropped our bags off, Alba was showing us where to go and what to see in BCN. Her guidance helped us organise our plans for the weekend and she helped us with great tips to see the big tourist attractions, but also pointed out some great hidden secrets - especially some fantastic restaurants!
In addition, I had made an accidental error with the booking and Alba immediately made the adjustment with no problems at all.
Next time I return to BCN I hope that Alba's spare room will be free :)
