Alfonso was an amazing host, deserving of his super host status. He was very helpful and friendly. He gave me lots of little tips for things to see in the city and where to eat. As for the the apartment it was modern and very clean. The room has an interior window which makes it free from street noise which is important in central Barcelona. It also had a roof fan to keep me cool on the hot days and heating which I didn't need to use. The location was great as I could walk into the centre in 15 minutes but was still way from the tourist crowds. It was good for transport links being next to metro red line 1 and close to the green line 3.
