Alex met us in the apartment and was very kind to let us in earlier than usual. He gave us all the information we needed about the place and also gave us lots of suggestions about where to eat and what to do. The neighborhood maps they left were very helpful. The apartment is beautiful and in an amazing location. We were all very comfortable. There is so much to do in Gracia! I would highly recommend staying here for anyone on vacation in Barcelona--thank you Gemma and Alex!
