We are a family of five (parents and 3 sons, ages 20, 17, and 16) from the USA who visited Barcelona during the heat wave of Summer 2022. The apartment was very comfortable, charmingly decorated, well-located, safe, and attractive. The host Alex was excellent with communication and very thoughtful, allowing us drop off luggage early after the overnight flight and personally checking us in at the earliest moment. He was also very patient with our poor Spanish ability. The neighborhood was fun, walking distance to lots of tourist sites, but retaining a very local flavor with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars.
