Alex met us at the apartment even though our flight was late and showed us around. He explained how the Barcelona metro worked and oriented us on a map to show where we were in the city and where everything is in relation.

The apartment is half way between two metro stations and we found the metro the easiest way to get around. It's a 3-4 minute walk to either of the two stations.

The apartment is on the 6th floor but there's a lift so you don't have to slog up the stairs. Inside, it's clean and bright. There are 2 double beds in rooms and one single bed. There are 2 bathrooms- one with a bath and one with a shower.

Alex left us beer, milk and bottled water in the fridge and crisps and biscuits and coffee (good coffee) in the kitchen. The aircon worked well.

When we left Alex was brilliant- accommodating our needs vis a vis flight times and departure etc. He couldn't have been more helpful.

This is a great place to stay in Barcelona.
