The apartment is great, spotlessly clean and really cosy. The location is perfect - close to all main attractions and 5 minutes walk from the airport, but far enough away from the touristy over-priced areas. There are some nice squares within a 5 minute walk where you can have an evening drink among the locals, which makes you feel like you're getting to know the real Barcelona. Alex is really helpful and takes lots of time to go through recommendations of sights to see and places to eat which we found really useful - take his advice and go to La Pepita and Momo - they are yummy! Thanks Alex!
