We had a great stay at Alessio's apartment. The description and the pictures of the property are just right so there were no unpleasant surprises.
The location of the apartment is one of its best assets. There are plenty of shops, bakeries and restaurants around as well as 2 nearby metro stations, one of which just in front of the majestic Sagrada Familia.
Alessio is very communicative and hospitable, he made us feel at home and gave us some valuable tips.
One of the very few downsides is the street noise. Not a deal breaker but something to keep in mind if you have light sleep.
