Alex and Gemma were fantastic hosts! Alex met us at the apartment for check-in. He clearly answered all our questions about how to use things in the apartment, and provided a useful map of nearby necessities (including a bread shop, convenient grocery store, and public transit stations). Communication was excellent with prompt responses. I really appreciated how flexible and understanding Alex and Gemma were. My bag was put on the wrong flight and delayed 4 hours into the Barcelona airport. I called Alex and he adjusted our check-in, so that we could stay at the airport to collect my bag. It was so nice of them to accommodate the last minute change. The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos - clean, spacious, and well organized. It is conveniently located. We were able to walk to many sights (including Casa Mila and the Sagrada Familiar), as well as major shopping areas. My dad and I particularly enjoyed returning to the apartment to cook in the evenings. We had everything we needed to prepare meals from a good knife to plastic wrap to large pots and pans. There is even a dish washer. It was fun buying local ingredients and cooking our own meals. We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona in this lovely spot. Thank you!
