Alberto is a fantastic host! He was extremely helpful in every aspect from helping us get to the apartment from the airport, to giving us lots of information and a map when we arrived to help us really make the most out of our stay. The apartment itself was sparkling clean, and the little extras provided (such as a can of beer in the fridge upon our arrival and a quick message the first morning to ask how our rest was and if we’re enjoying ourselves) really made Alberto stand out more than any other airb&b host we’ve had. The room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable- it was easy to feel at home straightaway there. The apartment is in a great location, just 5 mins from Sagrada Família but far enough away that it is quiet and also close to some lovely local bars and restaurants which helps you to avoid ‘tourist traps’. Although, Alberto provides absolutely every piece of kitchenware possible in a lovely clean kitchen so it would be completely feasible to stay in and cook with ease (especially as there are numerous supermarkets nearby). We would definitely recommend staying in Alberto’s apartment and if we ever return to Barcelona this is where we’d choose to stay again!
