We enjoyed a great stay at Alex's apartment in Barcelona. Excellent location for the beach and about a 30 minute walk to the Sagrada Familia and Gothic quarter. The apartment had everything we could possibly want/need during our stay and more! It also had all we could ask for for our 18month old daughter, even including a bucket and spade for the beach!
Only downside was that it is quite noisy - placed on a busy road and a bakery underneath (which is fab!) that opens early each day. Not a problem for us but we did need to buy some earplugs. Overall, a wonderful stay with helpful hosts and a great location for exploring the city.
