Alex is a great host. He provided very detailed information on how to get around in Barcelona, which metro lines and bus to take for most of the tourist spot. All of the info turned out to be extremely helpful for our stay in the city. Alex and Gemma's place is at Barri De Garcia, a very lively neighborhood with lots of restaurants and bars. Metro is right around the corner, so is the bus. The apartment itself is lovely, absolutely accurate to the description on airbnb. It is roomy, comfortable and nicely put together. We would love to come to Barcelona and stay at Alex and Gemma's for much longer next time!
