This was our first trip to Spain / Barcelona, and it was amazing. One of the main reasons was our stay at Alex's apartment. It was very close to the main city center and we walked around to the main sites. From the start Alex was available at every moment. He was there to receive us even though our flight was delayed. We left our keys in the apartment and got locked out but he came within an hour to help us out. My wife broke a glass jar and we were happy to pay for it or replace it but Alex didn't accept any monies. It was small thoughtful things that made our stay memorable and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Barcelona. It was a pleasure meeting Alex and his Mum.
