Gemma and Alex's apartment was very comfortable, clean, and open feeling, and in a great neighborhood -- a true neighborhood without too many tourists, but an easy walk to so many things (Passeig de Gracia and Sagrada Familia in particular). Alex met us when we arrived and gave us great tips about nearby restaurants & supermarkets and how to work everything in the apartment. The air conditioning was so welcome after a day of being out in the heat -- it's only in the dining room and one of the bedrooms, but there are also ceiling fans, so we were cool enough at night. The kitchen had everything we needed, we used the washing machine and our things dried quickly on the clothesline. All in all a fabulous stay!
